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. BougeBouge and Wakefield collaborated to create this event, which aims to combat physical inactivity among teenagers, young families, and retirees. Proceeds benefit recreational and athletic facilities at the Wakefield Community Center.
