About the race
Trail Pro-Forma is a trail running event at Mont Gleason on 26 September 2027. Organized since 2014 and presented in its 12th edition, the event combines mountain trail running and eco-responsibility. Registrations support medical research on glycogen storage disease, the Fondation À Notre Santé and Mont Gleason trail maintenance. The event offers a range of formats from a 1 km children’s course to multi-hour elevation challenges.
Two timed elevation challenges ask participants to repeat ascents of the mountain to accumulate positive elevation; each ascent yields 184 m of elevation. These challenges accept solo runners and teams of two to five, and team rankings use the average elevation of team members. Courses include varied terrain such as forest trails, VTT tracks, gravel sections and technical segments around features like the Sablière de Warwick. Additional activities include individual or team orienteering courses with maps and control points, offered at advanced, intermediate and beginner levels.
Services available for participants include optional participation medals, official timing for most races (except the elevation challenges), podium awards, local food snacks and on-site event animation. Bib pickup is scheduled on multiple days and at the Mont Gleason site. Some longer courses traverse private properties and require runners to carry specific equipment such as a minimum 500 ml liquid capacity for the 18 and 28 km courses.
