About the Event

Conquer the highest ski domain in Eastern Quebec at the Trail Polaire Pin-Rouge on Saturday, February 7, 2026, a thrilling night race on snow that is part of the prestigious Gaspesia Polar Trail Series. Choose from five distances, from a challenging 18km with 1,600m of climbing to a family-friendly 1km, all designed to push you out of your comfort zone on the illuminated, snowy slopes of the Pin-Rouge tourist station. Presented by Desjardins and sanctioned by Athlétisme Québec, this event combines a festive, friendly atmosphere with a serious mountain test, where headlamps cut through the winter dark and every breath is crisp in the Gaspé forest air. Beyond the personal challenge, your participation supports a great cause, as fundraising for Enfant Soleil can earn you discounts and chances to win a VIP pass for future Gaspesia events.

With professional timing, detailed GPX maps, and a stunning alpine setting, this is more than a race—it's a true winter adventure that celebrates the raw beauty and community spirit of the region. Whether you're an experienced trail runner or trying snow running for the first time, the Trail Polaire offers an unforgettable experience under the stars. Secure your spot to test your limits and contribute to a meaningful cause on the majestic slopes of the Gaspésie.
