Défi Everest Orford

Défi Everest Orford 2026

The 7th edition of Défi Everest Orford takes place from September 25 to 27, 2026 at Mont Orford, Orford, QC. The event raises funds for AlterGo and the Fondation des sports adaptés with a goal of 50 000 $.

Teams of hikers escort people with functional limitations on ascents of Mont Orford using specialized equipment such as the Joëlette and the Trackz Mobilité hiking chair. The collective objective is to complete at least 19 ascents per day, which corresponds to the elevation gain of Mount Everest.

Ascents are scheduled across multiple departures during the three days. Registration is available individually or as a team. Individual registrants can join an existing team as a hiker or as a participant with a functional limitation; a separate registration is required for each additional ascent. Teams must create a fundraising page with a minimum goal of 1 000 $; individual participants must create a fundraising page with a minimum goal of 100 $.

Two $50 gift cards from the Le Coureur store will be drawn among people registered before August 25. The event focuses on collective mobilization and fundraising for the named beneficiary organizations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
