Spectacular region - Spectacular event
The Outaouais is a hidden treasure. Its beauty and wilderness make it the perfect playground for unmatched events.
It starts here!
The Trail des Collines is the race that kicks off the trail running season in Québec. A true gathering of the sporting community to celebrate summer's arrival.
Course
The 2025 trails have been further optimized thanks to the exceptional work of Centre Vorlage. The trail network now offers a variety of terrain, steep inclines and breathtaking views of the Collines de l'Outaouais. Two loops are proposed this year with different variants:
LOOP A: 9k (170m D+) trail/road through the beautiful village of Wakefield and along the Gatineau River. GPX available soon.
LOOP B1: 16k (790m D+) of singletrack over three peaks of the Centre Vorlage. GPX available soon.
LOOP B2: 11k (480m D+) following B1 but avoiding the last summit. GPX available soon.
LOOP B3: 6k (210m D+) following the less technical paths of B1. GPX available soon.
Feed zones
Two feed zones will be set up on the course: at the top and at the base of the mountain. At both stations, you'll find water, XACT electrolytes, XACT fruit bars, watermelon and bananas.
