Stéphane Eychenne

Stéphane has always loved mountains and travelling. It started with trekking, expeditions and mountaineering through the world’s mountains (Alps, Pyrenees, Himalayas, Andes Cordillera, Atlas and more). He has always run in the mountains, even before trail running became known as a discipline in itself. He has been officially running the trail circuit for more than 10 years.

What he loves about trail running is the fun and friendly atmosphere, the discovery and the discussions that can happen during an ultra-trail run. He is passionate about discovering new places, regions, mountains and countries through trail running. He explored Western Canada on a trip a few years ago, and he’s coming to Eastern Canada to check out the UTHC.

In 2018, he finished 3^rd in the TransMartinique, behind two well-known UTHC athletes, Jean-François Cauchon and Mathieu Blanchard. He made it to the top of the podium a few times, including at the Luchon Aneto Trail in 2021.

He is very excited to come and experience Charlevoix, and we’re excited to have him!
