Mont-Tremblant will host La Classique Tremblant, presented by Arc'teryx, on 17 October 2026, bringing a trail-running race to the Laurentian resort. The event includes six distances and places the start and finish within the pedestrian village.
La Classique Tremblant brings six races on 17 October
The twelfth edition is scheduled at the resort in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec. The organiser lists 1, 3, 5, 10, 20 and 30 km courses, with the race page giving 17 October 2026 as the date and the resort as the venue.
The official programme describes the event as a trail race shaped around the mountain and its autumn setting. Its 2026 race details include wave starts for the 20 km and 30 km courses, followed by separate starts for the shorter distances. The 1 km course is listed for younger participants, while the longer routes carry different age categories.
Mont-Tremblant links the race to its mountain trails
The resort places every race start at Place Saint-Bernard, in the pedestrian village, and the finish on the Onésime carpet. That layout connects a mountain trail event with the compact public space at the foot of the resort, rather than sending visitors to a separate race venue.
The race page also records a current restriction with direct relevance to participants and spectators. Construction is under way in the Timber area, which is due to remain closed until the day of the event; consequently, the 20 km and 30 km routes cannot be previewed in full. The municipal events listing places the race among the town's October programme.
The mountain rises to 875 metres and its ski area covers 309 hectares, according to the resort. Its first chairlift was installed in 1939, giving the October race a setting shaped by more than eight decades of organised mountain recreation.
Course restrictions shape the October race weekend
The Timber closure changes what can be inspected before race day, but the organiser states that the event remains scheduled for 17 October 2026. Trail routes may also change because of trail conditions and operational requirements, so the published course information is not a guarantee of the final layout.
For runners, the combination of six distances and a start in the pedestrian village makes the race legible on arrival. For other visitors, the main change is that parts of the mountain linked to the longer routes are not available for course preview while construction continues.
