This new UTMB trail running event in Québec is more than just a race, it’s an experience. Held in the heart of Mont-Tremblant, runners will face rugged trails carved through the boreal forest, testing both endurance and grit.
The program offers something for every athlete:
Whether you’re chasing UTMB Index points or stepping onto the trails for the first time, there’s a starting line with your name on it.
What sets Boréalys apart is its soul. Inspired by Québec folklore, the event takes cues from the legendary chasse-galeries flying canoe tale where adventurers make a pact with the forest to reach their destination. That storytelling spirit will infuse every part of the race, from the start line to the finish celebrations.
Expect more than just running. The weekend will immerse participants and spectators in Québec culture:
It’s the kind of experience where you don’t just run the trails, you live the story.
Boréalys Mont-Tremblant is the result of a partnership between Événements Harricana, the team behind Ultra-Trail Harricana du Canada and the prestigious UTMB World Series.
This collaboration is built on trust, shared values, and a common vision: to highlight the beauty of Québec’s wild spaces while connecting runners from around the globe. It’s about authenticity, solidarity, and respect for both athletes and the land they cross.
Mont-Tremblant isn’t new to outdoor adventure, but Boréalys will shine a new spotlight on the destination. The race is expected to welcome more than 3,000 runners and thousands of supporters, generating over 10 million dollars for the region.
For participants, it’s a chance to discover:
In short, it’s the ultimate blend of competition and tourism.
One of the most powerful aspects of Boréalys Mont-Tremblant by UTMB is its commitment to community. Beyond the mountains, finish lines, and medals, this event carries a deeper purpose: supporting causes that touch lives across Québec.
The highlight is the 80K Charity Relay, a team-based challenge designed not just for performance but for impact. Every stride taken in this relay contributes to two meaningful organizations:
For the organizers, these causes are deeply personal. The decision to link Boréalys to health and youth support wasn’t just symbolic, it reflects the solidarity and resilience that trail running itself represents.
By participating in the relay or even simply supporting the runners, you’re part of a collective effort that goes beyond the racecourse. It’s about channeling the energy of thousands of athletes and spectators into real change for local communities.
In this way, Boréalys Mont-Tremblant becomes more than a UTMB qualifier. It’s a movement where running meets purpose, proving that when we push our limits, we can uplift others too.
