BougeBouge Wakefield Course du Pont couvert 2026

BougeBouge Wakefield Course du Pont couvert is a run-and-walk event in Wakefield, Quebec, centered on the village’s covered bridge and the Gatineau River. Typically held in October, it offers participants a selection of short road races, a longer trail option, and a half-marathon distance, with 3 km, 5 km, 10 km, and 21.1 km courses available. The event is designed for families, friends, new runners, walkers, and those seeking a more challenging trail or mountain-style run. The route guides participants across the historic Wakefield Covered Bridge and alongside the Gatineau River, with Gatineau Park also featured in the event's setting. Road races are offered in 3 km, 5 km, and 10 km distances, while trail races include 10 km and 21.1 km options.

The Maple Leaf March -- La Marche Maple Leaf

9runrun Ottawa is a run-or-walk event held at Village Square Park on Abbott Street East in Stittsville, west of central Ottawa. It focuses on emergency services and raises funds for the Ottawa First Responders Foundation. The event directs all money raised to the foundation; a previous edition raised $27,730.

Coupe Skinouk Course en sentier 2026

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.

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.
