You asked for it, the swimrun is back. This time in an unprecedented formula. How do you feel about swimming in Lac Delage at night with a convoy of lighted boats and running the Empire 47 trails with a headlamp under a starry night?

Here is what we offer:

4 swimrun formats which consist of 1, 2, 3 or 4 400m swimming loops + 5 km trail running, at night. For swimming, the loop will be lit by a line of illuminated boats for the occasion. For safety reasons, it will be mandatory to swim 2 by 2 at all times (except for the shorter event), to carry a personal buoy and we also provide glow sticks for each participant. Imagine the sight!!! For running, part of the course will be illuminated, but as soon as you step deeper into the forest, your headlamp will guide you through the 5 km course.

Unlike the classic swimrun events where you have to carry all the racing and swimming equipment throughout the trip, your swimrun event at the XTERRA Quebec Festival will include a transition zone where it will be possible to change and change equipment.

• In the transition from swimming to running, it will be possible to retrieve your headlamp, put on your shoes and change for the race.

• In the transition from running to swimming, it will be possible to put down your lamp, take off your shoes, retrieve your buoy and light sticks and change for swimming.

All types of wetsuits are allowed. In return, flotation and propulsion equipment (fins, paddles, pull-buoys) is prohibited.
