Ultra-Trail Harricana du Canada (UTHC)

The Ultra-Trail Harricana presented by The North Face is an authentic trail running experience in Canada’s wild backcountry. Trails dense with raw nature and wildlife. A rich ecosystem in a unique UNESCO world biosphere reserve. Summits where the wind carries the scents of the St. Lawrence River and the boreal forest.

What can you expect at the Ultra-Trail® Harricana? To run like the wolf and free your wild!

The Ultra-Trail Harricana is an international-caliber trail-running event attended by the largest pool of elite runners in Quebec. Over the years, the trails have been run by athletes from nine Canadian provinces and more than 20 countries. The 125-km distance is the only race in Canada included in the prestigious Ultra-Trail World Tour.

From the 1-km kids’ race to the 125-km course that attracts elite athletes from here and abroad, including the popular 28-km and legendary 65-km runs, the Ultra-Trail Harricana has the right challenge for you. At this race in the heart of the Canadian wilderness, you’ll find out just how far your legs (and heart) can take you. You’ll reach new summits while experiencing something completely unique.

The UTHC’s goal this year is to bring as many new trail runners as more experienced trail runners to the event. To welcome all levels of performance, this seventh edition aims to place the organization’s mission front and centre, by making sure everyone can take part in outdoor sports activities.

Charlevoix is an authentic, nature-centered tourist region, set between the river and mountains, that is famous for its breathtaking views and unmatched gastronomic and artistic creativity.
