A Popular Race That Sells Out Quickly

Classic vs. Saint-Siméon: Two Distinct 42K Experiences

The 42K Classic (Saturday) and the 42K Saint-Siméon (Sunday) offer two very different ways to experience UTHC.

The 42K Classic is the more runnable of the two. Faster and less technical, it’s particularly well suited to runners who enjoy maintaining a steady pace on smooth, flowing trails.

The 42K Saint-Siméon is our signature course at this distance. More trail-focused and technical in some sections, it remains accessible to all runners who are well prepared for a 42K trail race. Its varied terrain and spectacular viewpoints throughout the Saint-Siméon area make for an especially scenic and memorable experience.

The 42K Saint-Siméon also features the stronger elite field of the two races, for those looking to compete alongside some of the top athletes.

And for those looking for the ultimate experience, why choose? You can take on both 42K races in the same weekend!

Dropbag

A bag will be given to you when you pick up your bib. You must clearly identify your drop bag.

The morning of the race, when you exit the shuttle bus, you will be able to leave the bag, identified with your name and bib number. This drop bag will be your finish bag so you should pack a towel and change of clothes.

Dropping out and Getting Back

Should you choose to drop out of the race, or be required to end the race for medical reasons, it is important to signal your abandonment to the nearest aid station captain or to a first aider.

It is prohibited to quit the race and leave the course without signaling your abandonment to a member of the UTHC organisation. Every person abandoning the race must ensure that the race director has taken note of his bib number.

The bib numbers of the racers having abandoned will then be sent to the timing and results team. Once an athlete has signaled his desire to abandon the race, he will be taken in charge by the UTHC team to ensure he will be returned to the Mont Grand-Fonds event area.

Since many of the aid stations are difficult to reach, we ask that you be patient while transportation is arranged. This process can take some time and you may have to wait several minutes before being transported back to the Mont Grand-Fonds.
