RELAY - 8KMX4
This community driven relay will include an 8km loop to be completed by 4 team members. The day will be filled with activities, food and music as each team member takes their turn on the course.
This year's route is an 8km loop along Lac Le Jeune behind the resort. Through wooded trails, both single and double track sections. Enough elevation to give you a challenge and a bit of technical terrain to test your footwork.
Each team will have time to participate in the challenges hosted by our sponsors, but it is up to you to be ready at the starting line when your runner is up!
