Why This Race Matters
The 160 km has been the Bromont Ultra's signature race since 2014, when the organizer says it became Quebec's longest trail race; the organizer also reports a dropout rate above 50%. The weekend is a fundraiser, with a 2026 goal of $1.1 million for about 20 causes.
Preparing for a Race Like Bromont Ultra 160 km
The fixed-distance race guide covers the format as a whole. These guides go deeper:
- Walking strategy for ultramarathons: When and how to walk by terrain, effort and cutoffs.
- Crew and aid-station strategy: Crew tables, aid stops, drop bags and runner preferences.
- Hydration and sodium for ultramarathons: Fluid, sodium, thirst, sweat rate and hyponatremia risk.
- Tapering for ultramarathons: Plan the taper and race week around your own recovery.
Planning Notes
- Train for terrain-specific fatigue. Technical trails and mountain courses demand downhill durability, hiking efficiency, and reliable night lighting.
- The directory does not mark this as having simpler logistics. Confirm qualification, terrain, support, registration, medical, and withdrawal requirements before planning around it.
- Sunset is at 6:00 PM Saturday and sunrise at 7:10 AM Sunday, so runners face a full night on course
- October averages 13°C highs and 3°C lows in Bromont
- Black-legged ticks are established in the Bromont area
- Poles are allowed, but if used they must be carried from start to finish
