Sentiers sous les étoiles 2026

Sentiers sous les étoiles is a trail running event at Centre de ski Le Relais in Lac-Beauport, organized by Les Classiques Capitale. Held on Saturday, September 19, 2026, the event offers both daytime and nighttime running options across multiple distances on the trails at Le Relais ski hill. Runners can choose from courses as short as 1 km up to 20 km, with Viking endurance formats for those wanting a longer challenge.

The event blends trail running with a festive outdoor atmosphere at the ski hill base. Previous editions have drawn participants for the unique experience of running lit trails after dark under an autumn sky. On the same date, Les Classiques Capitale also hosts Trail des Sommets at Station de ski Stoneham — a separate event with its own registration.
