About the race
Ultra Trail Gaspesia 100 (UTG100) is a multi-day trail running event held in the Percé area of Gaspésie, Quebec, set on trails that run between sea and mountains and that involve the Percé UNESCO Global Geopark and Bonaventure Island and Percé Rock National Park. The event program includes ultra endurance races, multi-day stage formats and shorter trail distances, with GPX course files provided for each race and an Athlete Guide that lists cutoffs and logistics.
Ultra race options include:
- 100 miles, 165 km, 5000 m D+ climb, cutoff 33 h
- 110 km, 3500 m D+
- 85 km, 3000 m D+
- 55 km, 1700 m D+
The 100 mile distance can also be run as a relay for teams of 2 to 6, with exchanges allowed only at official aid stations except at La Commune. Drop bag service is available for the 100 mile, 110 km and 85 km races. Races of 55 km and under are eligible for the Pace du Bonheur format, which removes cutoffs on those distances.
Stage races called Trans‑Percé are offered in cumulative formats of 100 km, 75 km, 50 km and 25 km over three days; these include the mandatory Friday evening race on Bonaventure Island and boat transport for that race. Bib pickup occurs at the main site at Parc des Loups-Marins and photo ID is required. Aid stations do not provide disposable cups, so participants must bring a reusable cup. Post-race meals are provided for selected distances and for Trans‑Percé finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
