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.
