What Makes It Great

The QMT 50 is the largest event at the Québec Mega Trail festival, attracting over 500 participants. Starting near Saint-Ferréol-les-Neiges, it takes runners through the infamous Mestachibo trail, then up and over Mont-Sainte-Anne twice before finishing with a loop through the northern trails. A demanding 51 km that punches well above its distance with brutal technical terrain and 2,300 m of climbing.
