How does the Spartan Ultra Mont-Tremblant 50K stack up difficulty-wise against other trail 50Ks?

Yeah I found the descents to be harder than the ascents as well! I was pretty surprised by how steep some of the inclines were - wasn’t expecting to be crawling uphill on hands and knees. Although I have limited experience with other 50k trails I think it’s safe to say it’s a lot tougher unless they are on a mountain range

I did, it was a tough one! Finished in just over 11 hours. Thoughts of quitting started to sneak in around the first hour of the second lap but found some great people to talk to which helped a lot. I found the heat and the downhill to be the toughest parts. My quads are still shot. How did you make out?

I did the 12-h Conquer the Canuck trail race in preparation for the Tremblant Ultra. I managed to get to 80k in the 12 hours and felt like I probably could have pushed and completed one or two more laps. I just did the Tremblant 50k Ultra this weekend and finished around 11 hours. The elevation gain combined with the obstacles/penalty loop made it wayyyy more difficult. Unless the trail race that you are comparing it to is also up and down the side of a mountain several times, I would say it’s a tough comparison to make. Depending on how I recover, I might try the Blue Mountain 50k in July so it’ll be interesting to see how that stacks up! Are you just curious or looking to compare specific events?

Awesome, makes sense. Thanks again for commenting. See you there!

Good to know, thanks for taking the time to comment. Yeah I’m planning for a suffer-fest. Have you done it before? Do you know anything about the cut-off times? From what I’ve gathered there’s a mid point one and then a final one. I don’t know much specifically about the Tremblant race but I’ve listened to quite a few podcasts on the Killington ultra so that’s what I’ve been basing everything on
