Mont-Sainte-Anne, July 7, 2024 \u2013 <\/b>Huge success for this 12th edition of the Qu\u00e9bec Mega Trail which ends today!\u00a0 The event achieved a record number of registrations with some 3,500 runners at the starting line for the various events, a record number of elite runners on site, numerous course records broken and a record number of volunteers involved, not to mention the immense performances from local runners. <\/span>Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Cauchon<\/b> and <\/span>Anne Champagne<\/b> delivered exceptional record races on the QMT-100 MILES (160 km), unequivocally writing the history of the QMT.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThrough the records shattered by our local champions, we have once again proven that Qu\u00e9bec runners have dynamite in their stomachs!\u00a0 Our courses are technical, and we are very happy to see that the international participants \u2013 more and more numerous \u2013 have also done very well on our trails, discovering what distinguishes our wild, typically Qu\u00e9bec nature. Furthermore, I am still captivated by my team! Every edition, everyone outdoes themselves and 2024 sets the bar very high for other trail events in Canada!\u201d<\/span><\/i> – <\/span>Jean Fortier<\/b>, general director and founder of Qu\u00e9bec Mega Trail<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/b>Below are the runners who distinguished themselves in the different races held this Sunday.<\/b><\/p>\n

QMT-25: 100% Qu\u00e9bec podiums\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

The QMT-25 gave rise to magnificent neck-to-neck races, for both men and women. <\/span>\u00c9lisa Morin<\/b>, who was crowned grand champion over the distance today, recounted her experience on the course. \u201cIt was a really good battle with <\/span>Sarah Bergeron-Larouche<\/b>! We held together throughout the race, she took a little lead until Fondeur [\u2026] then I just had to give all I had. I knew that there were still small climbs where I was stronger than her, and on the descents, she is very strong. I said to myself: I’m doing it, I’m working on my descent and I’m not thinking. It paid off! \u00bb, mentioned the French athlete established in Qu\u00e9bec since 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n

The runner not only shone on the QMT-25, but she also accompanied the athlete <\/span>Benoit Gaillard<\/b> over around thirty kilometers on Saturday, thus supporting him in his second place in the QMT-110. A real warm-up for her! “It went well! In the end, it gave me a good idea of the trails for my race today,\u201d she added. Among the men, there was also a great battle between the first two positions. It was ultimately <\/span>Louis Moreau<\/b> who went for victory, reaching the finish line some 30 seconds earlier than his rival <\/span>Olivier Gagnon<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n
