Half Marathon-Läufe in der Nähe von Carleton Place

Coupe Skinouk Course en sentier is an October trail race held at the Nakkertok Nordique ski centre, located at 900 Avenue Gatineau in Gatineau, Quebec. This event, presented by Euro-Sports, has been held annually since 2012 and is sanctioned as a trail event by the Quebec Athletics Federation. Originally conceived as a low-key test for regional cross-country ski club athletes prior to the ski season, the race is now open to beginners, experienced runners, and individuals seeking a forest race over a road event. The routes are entirely on trails and through woods, featuring rolling stretches interspersed with more technical sections. The program typically includes short, youth-friendly distances of approximately 1.25 or 1.5 km, along with 2.5 km, 5 km, 10 km, and occasionally 20 km options. GPX files are provided for several courses, aligning with the event’s practical, club-race atmosphere. Previously known as Trail X Skinouk and Défi Skinouk Leucan Outaouais, on-site registration is generally available shortly before the chosen distance, space permitting.

BougeBouge Gatineau – Spécial Halloween is a Halloween-themed night trail race in Gatineau, Quebec, taking place in late October. It provides 1 km, 2 km, 5 km, and 10 km distances, allowing families, new runners, walkers, and regular trail runners to select a suitable length for the evening. The race begins at 500 Rue de Cannes and is described in French as a “course des lumières,” a race of lights. Costumes are encouraged, headlamps are recommended, and the trail/mountain environment lends the event a more playful evening-out atmosphere compared to a typical road race.
