Already our third edition of this unique event in Canada. A Vertical Kilometer? Yes! 1000 meters of ascent over a distance of 5km! It is a race against the clock starting at the foot of Mont- Albert and ending the summit. So – 5km – how hard could it be? The first edition winners did it in 38m57 (Joel Bourgeois) for Male and in 50m59 (Sarah Bergeron-Larouche) for Female! Come to the mountains and find out! We promise a knee grinding, lung busting ascent – but you can take all the time you want to get back down to the SkyVillage!
