L‘Échappée de l’Isle-aux-Coudres
A sporting and family experience
In the heart of the St. Lawrence River, the event offers sunset yoga sessions along with road and trail running courses (1 km to 23 km). It’s a unique opportunity to experience the island differently—through nature, heritage, and conviviality. Perfect for discovering running or taking on the challenge of both disciplines, all in a picturesque and inspiring setting.
Trail Station
Discover the world of trail running in Quebec
An innovative concept by Événements Harricana: the creation of a permanent trail station that combines marked trails, runner services, and a community gathering place. A true hub for outdoor activity, the station aims to democratize trail running, support year-round training, and enhance the region’s appeal as a tourist destination—while showcasing the territory and offering a structured experience for runners of all levels.
La Virée Nordique de Charlevoix
A unique winter adventure
Since 2015, Événements Harricana has been mandated to coordinate and produce the Virée Nordique de Charlevoix. This unique winter event showcases the region in a new way with a diverse program that includes cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and winter running. Beyond offering participants a memorable experience, the Virée helps boost the winter tourism season and generates positive impacts for both the economy and Charlevoix’s reputation as a four-season outdoor destination.
