By Media ReleaseDaniel Poirier’s organizing team put together a challenging course with over 16 checkpoints that had the participants run, mountain bike, kayak, swim and perform a Tyrolean traverse with their bikes before reaching the finish line in the small village of Petit Saguenay .
A tight battle took place as several teams exchanged the lead over a course that featured nearly 3000 feet of vertical gain. In the end, after a race that lasted nearly 6 hours, it was the experienced team of Mundial St-Raymond that crossed the line first, narrowly edging out last year’s winner, Quilicot-RackUltra. Teams Xtrail Asics quickly followed, whereas the Glenners and Team Salomon rounded out the top 5, crossing the line only a few minutes apart.
