Mélina Dubois-Verret

I love running on trails, especially technical mountain courses. Over the past few years, I’ve had the pleasure of participating in three 160 km races in Canada and the United States, and I’m particularly drawn to long-distance courses. I finished 3rd place at the QMT 160 km last year and 5th at the 100-mile Hellbender race in North Carolina.

This is my 4th time participating in the UTHC, and the 125 km course still draws me in just as much. I’m in love with the mountains of Charlevoix, especially the first section in the ZEC des Martres. The descents remain my favorite moments, and this course offers some beautiful ones! Having finished this race in 4th and 2nd place in 2022 and 2023 respectively, my goal this year will be to shave some time off my personal record. I’m really looking forward to joining the Harricana team again this year!
