About the Event

Test your ultimate winter fortitude in one of North America's most demanding endurance challenges at Actif Epica on February 13-15, 2026. This self-supported winter odyssey celebrates human resilience across the frozen plains of Manitoba, offering runners a brutal 50km, 115km, or 100-mile distance and cyclists routes of 50km, 115km, or 230km. Starting from St. Pierre-Jolys, competitors face icy winds, snow-swept trails, and extreme cold on a course that follows sections of "The Great Trail," with mandatory checkpoints ensuring safety in the vast, open landscape. Feel the profound isolation and raw challenge of an event where survivalism meets sport, pushing you to rely entirely on your own preparation and mental strength.

Experience the unique camaraderie of a small, dedicated field of adventurers who share a pre-race check-in in Winnipeg before embarking on a journey where finishing is a monumental achievement. The race is meticulously organized for safety with roving volunteers and medical standby, yet its philosophy demands complete self-sufficiency from every participant. As an official Iditarod qualifier, it attracts a special breed of athlete seeking the harshest conditions. Secure your registration for an unforgiving test that goes far beyond a typical ultra, where every step or pedal stroke in the deep cold is a victory in the relentless pursuit of human resilience.
