We have worked hard for this 10th anniversary to offer you an exceptional event. Over the years, the event has continued to grow and consolidate all the while preserving that authentic and convivial spirit we love so much. Despite the challenges of COVID, we hope to present a festive and unforgettable rendez-vous that will live up to the expectations you have been nurturing for months. Thank you to the many partners who have made this event possible for 10 years as well as to the hundreds of volunteers who have helped us year after year. Every involvement makes a significant difference in the success of this project which is much more than an event, but the annual summit of a community of enthusiasts, active all year long. » Marline Côté, General Manager 4 | Athlete guide UTHC WORD FROM THE RACE DIRECTOR « Dear athletes, It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2021 edition of the Ultra-trail Harricana du CanadaTM. What a joy to see so many of you coming to join us in Charlevoix to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the event! For the occasion, we have prepared a very diversified program. From the 1 km for children, to the 125 km master event, we are offering exceptionally this year the nine (9) courses developed by UTHC. In addition we offer you the new 42 km of Saint-Siméon. Technical and wild, this last one will amaze you with its grandiose panoramas on the St-Lawrence river. Another novelty, the 125 km will now start on Friday afternoon to offer you an improved experience (and a longer weekend with us!). On the health and safety side, we have gone to great lengths to provide you with the best possible support, day and night, throughout your challenge. UTHC is fast approaching and, after the smaller 2020 edition, we are looking forward to seeing many of you on our different routes. We'll be able to celebrate 10 years of the Ultra-trail Harricana du CanadaTM, but above all, the pleasure of being together. Happy training and see you soon! » Julien Harvey, Race director WORD FROM THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR AND HEAD-VOLUNTEERS « It is with great exhilaration that we have been planning the 2021 edition of the Ultra-Trail Harricana du CanadaTM for the last several months. We always look forward to welcoming you, this year especially, to celebrate the tenth anniversary! I remember with great emotion that very first edition. Even back then , we were already setting the bar high. And today, we are more than ever committed to delivering an event that will be remembered for a long time. And to celebrate its tenth anniversary, UTHC marks the occasion by offering you ten races! It is with great pleasure that I will be on site for the tenth consecutive year with all the ultra- volunteers who get involved year after year and allow us to make this event happen. I take this opportunity to warmly thank them and wish you all a good race! » Erika Potvin, Deputy director and Head-Volunteers ultratrailharricana.com
