Défi Élévation

Défi Élévation is a trail and mountain running series held at Centre de Ski Le Relais in Lac-Beauport, Quebec, north of Quebec City. The event is scheduled for a late July date, featuring races categorized by distance from 11-15 km up to 31-40 km. The race names are inspired by famous peaks: Défi Fuji covers approximately 14 km per runner in a four-person team, Défi Mont Blanc is about 18 km, Défi Everest is around 25 km, and Défi Olympe is roughly 33 km. The course is set on a ski hill, indicating a mountain trail format rather than a road race, with both solo and team options available for participants to choose their approach to the climbs and distances.
