QMT 32

QMT 32 - INTENSE

Experience one of the most beautiful and rewarding trail races in the East of North America, a true golden race. This new event is the condensed version of its big sister, QMT-50. However, it allows participants to bypass the untamed Mestachibo. It offers a wide variety of terrains, including highly technical trails, steep descents, exposed passages at the summit of the mountain, and winding paths through dense forests. The course is divided into two halves: the first is challenging, especially uphill and downhill in the first kilometers, followed by a scenic stroll at north of Mont-Sainte-Anne.
