The Ultra Trail Gaspesia 100 offers authentic trail running experiences between sea and mountains in the Gaspésie region, featuring ultra-endurance distances such as the 100-mile course.
What this race demands
Ultra Trail Gaspesia 100 demands sustained ultra-endurance across 160.9 kilometers and 5,000 meters of elevation change in a mountainous coastal environment.
Ultra Distance
Covering 160.9 kilometers requires elite aerobic stamina, meticulous pacing, and the ability to keep moving through multiple natural diurnal cycles.
Climbing Volume
Navigating 5,000 meters of vertical gain places a heavy load on the lower limbs and cardiovascular system, demanding deep muscular endurance for prolonged ascents and descents.
Terrain Adaptability
Racing between sea and mountains exposes athletes to shifting coastal conditions and technical mountain surfaces that require steady focus over very long durations.
Given the duration will far exceed 2.5 hours, athletes must consume 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy output and stave off severe glycogen depletion.
