The Canada Man / Woman of Lac-Mégantic is a unique event because of its wild, intense and authentic character. It is a life experience that athletes undertake when they enter the waters of the Mégantic Lake at dawn, more than a race against time. They will have to face the cold waters of the lake for 3.8 km, then cycle 180 km with an elevation gain of 2500 m, in breathtaking landscapes, to finally attack a 42 km run, most of which is done in the trails of the Canadian wilderness, with an elevation gain of 1600 m, to finally reach the summit of Mount Mégantic overlooking the region. The Canada Man / Woman has been named # 1 of 10 Canadian races in 2019 by Triathlon Canada Magazine.
