Trail Pro-Forma 2026

Trail Pro-Forma is a mountain trail-running day at Mont Gleason in Tingwick, Quebec, with races in September on the ski hill’s trail network. The menu runs from a 1 km children’s race and short 2.5 km and 5 km options up to 10 km, 18 km, 28 km, plus 6-hour and 12-hour D+ challenges for runners who want to stack as much climbing as they can. It is built for families, first-time trail runners, club runners, and competitive athletes, with official timing for most races and podiums for the main events. The courses use wooded trails, climbing, descents, and both technical and rolling sections, so the shorter races still feel like trail running rather than a road race moved onto dirt. The event has been based at Mont Gleason since 2014 and is in its 11th edition. Profits go to the fight against infantile glycogenosis, the Fondation À Notre Santé of HDA hospital, and trail maintenance at Mont Gleason. The program also includes solo and team orienteering, where runners use a map and compass to find control points, with beginner, intermediate, and advanced options; non-runners can hike, watch the entertainment, and share the local-product snacks at the site.
