Aux Lièvres

Hunt the hare and join the Aux Lièvres race on October 2, 2026. Presented by XACT Nutrition, this exciting evening run will challenge participants with its unique course through picturesque woodland trails near Quebec City.
The event starts at dusk as runners set off in pursuit of a virtual "hare," racing against an unseen clock rather than directly competing against one another. The route winds along scenic paths and forest roads, offering breathtaking views under the glow of twilight. Participants will navigate varied terrain including gentle hills and dense vegetation typical of Quebec's natural landscapes.
Runners are encouraged to wear reflective gear for visibility in low light conditions. Water stations and first aid support are strategically placed throughout the course to ensure safety while still maintaining an adventurous spirit.
This year, XACT Nutrition is offering special hydration packs tailored specifically for evening runs, enhancing participants' experience with convenient carrying solutions designed for optimal performance during cooler temperatures of early fall nights.
The event culminates in a lively post-race celebration where runners can socialize and share their experiences over refreshments provided by local vendors. This annual tradition continues to attract both seasoned athletes and casual enthusiasts looking to enjoy the beauty of autumn foliage combined with an engaging running challenge.
Registration is now open for this thrilling evening adventure through Quebec's serene woodlands, promising a memorable night under the stars for all who participate.
