A Spectacular 42K Course

The 42K from Saint-Siméon to Mont Grand-Fonds is one of UTHC’s signature courses. Technical in some sections, yet accessible to runners who are well prepared for a 42K trail race, it offers a true immersion in Charlevoix’s wild and spectacular landscapes.

Following sections of the Trans Canada Trail, the course takes place primarily on singletrack, with varied terrain and rewarding climbs to several open summits. The reward: exceptional and lesser-known views of the region, the St. Lawrence River, and the Charlevoix Palisades.

This course is for runners who want to experience everything a 42K trail race has to offer: true trail running, breathtaking scenery, and a memorable experience from start to finish.

 

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

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

The Classic is the more runnable of the two. Faster and less technical, it’s perfect for runners who enjoy maintaining a steady pace on smoother, more flowing trails.

The Saint-Siméon focuses more on the trail experience and spectacular scenery. Its terrain is more varied and technical in some sections, while remaining accessible with proper preparation. Its singletrack, summits, and numerous viewpoints make it our signature course at this distance.

The 42K Saint-Siméon also features the stronger elite field of the two races, adding an exciting competitive dimension to the event.

And for those who want to make the most of the weekend, it’s even possible to take on both 42K races!

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.
