QMT 30

Presented by

QMT 30 - SALOMON GOLDEN TRAIL WORLD SERIES

The QMT30 offers a spectacular 30 km course around Mont-Sainte-Anne, set in one of the most iconic trail-running landscapes in Québec. The route alternates between technical trails, fast singletrack, and maple forest sections, with striking views over the Laurentians and the Jean-Larose River. This race places runners at the very heart of the Québec Mega Trail, on some of the most popular and well-known trails in the province, permanently marked and maintained year-round. The first half of the course is more demanding, before giving way to a smoother, more flowing traverse on the northern side of the mountain. A complete, dynamic, and immersive experience—designed equally for performance and the pure joy of running in nature.
