Share post:

Charlevoix, Quebec: Get ready for an unforgettable adventure in the heart of Canada’s wild backcountry as the Ultra-Trail Harricana™ 2024, presented by The North Face, returns from September 6-8, 2024, in the breathtaking Charlevoix region of Quebec. This iconic event invites trail runners from around the world to test their limits on rugged terrain while embracing the values of trail running—authenticity, humility, respect, equality, and solidarity.

Since its inception in 2012, the Ultra-Trail Harricana™ du Canada (UTHC) has grown into one of the most prestigious trail running events in North America. This grassroots event draws 3,500 athletes who gather for a weekend to compete in various race distances, ranging from short sprints to ultra-marathons. The races cover a wide spectrum of challenges, including the 5K, 10K, 20K, 28K, 42K, 65K, 80K (50 miles), and the crown jewel, the 125K ultra.

The 125km ultra-course is internationally recognized and offers a rigorous challenge with a total height gain of 4,000 meters. Not only does this race offer stunning views of the boreal forest and untamed wilderness, but it also serves as a qualifying race for the renowned Western States 100—making it a coveted event for elite athletes.

Whether you’re a seasoned ultra-runner or a first-time trail enthusiast, the UTHC provides an event that suits every skill level.

If you missed the initial registration, don’t worry. The UTHC offers options such as participating in a fundraiser to secure a bib or reserving bibs for out-of-province runners. Keep an eye on their website for potential transfer or cancellation openings.
