About the race
Défi Gendarme de fer is a unique trail and obstacle race inspired by police training, presented in collaboration with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. In Montréal and Québec, the event takes place on October 18, 2025 and offers five entry levels: Children 1 km + obstacles; 2.5 km + obstacles; 5 km + obstacles; 10 km + obstacles; and a 10 km Elite wave. It welcomes athletes of all levels—adults, teens, and kids—and raises funds for pediatric research through the Fondation de la recherche pédiatrique.
Highlights include an isolated Elite start for a fast, uninterrupted race, professional action photos, personal timing chips, and flexible formats for solo, team, or corporate participation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
