- Where is the packet pickup located?
- Bib collection typically takes place at the Place des Voyageurs at the base of the pedestrian village. Check the final participant guide for specific windows, usually starting 48 hours before the first race.
- Is there a mandatory gear check for the races?
- Yes, as a UTMB World Series event, mandatory gear (including waterproof jackets, whistles, and survival blankets) is strictly enforced at bib collection and through random checks on course.
- How do I get from Montreal Airport to Mont-Tremblant?
- Skyport operates a shuttle service directly from Montreal-Trudeau (YUL) to the Tremblant resort. Alternatively, renting a car is a 1.5-hour drive via Highway 15 North.
- What is the technicality of the terrain like?
- Expect Laurentian forest trails with significant roots and rocks. The climbs are punchy and steep, particularly the vertical gain on the Mont-Tremblant massif itself.
- Can spectators use the gondola to watch the race?
- Yes, the panoramic gondola provides access to the summit of Mont Tremblant, which is a major cheering point as runners crest the peak and begin their descent.
- Is there parking available in the village?
- Parking in the pedestrian village is expensive. If your hotel doesn't include it, look for the 'P' lots at the entrance which offer shuttle service to the start line area.
