Midnight Moose Ultra
MMU IS GOING CUPLESS FOR 2019 !!!
PLEASE NOTE: There will be no cups. You must bring your own. Our amazing volunteers will help you fill your cup, bottle or reservoir.
The Midnight Moose Ultra is a night-time ultra-trail race with distances of approximately 25km, 50km, 100km and 160km across some of the toughest running and mountain-biking trails in the Gatineau Park. Using only headlamps and the light of the moon, participants are challenged to complete the race before sun-rise (for the 50km race), sun-set (for the 100km race) and a second sunrise for the 160km. Great food and drink, will be waiting for all of our hungry finishers no matter when they arrive!
All four MMU races start at Camp Fortune at 10:00pm. We can’t tell you what happens after that – you’ll have to enter in order to experience the Midnight Moose for yourself! We will say that none of the distances are for the faint of heart – each is designed to challenge, in its own way, even the toughest of trail runners. Add in the night factor and the Midnight Moose is one tough trail race that will leave participants both exhausted and exhilarated when they cross the finish line back at Camp Fortune many hours later!
The Midnight Moose Ultra is about having some fun and experiencing the Gatineau Park at night. But fun also means being safe. As such, we expect all of our participants who register for the 100km and 160km races to have the training and confidence necessary to complete a race of this magnitude. A race doctor will be on course to monitor participants’ progress for all races, and there will be a time limit of 24 hours for the 100km race and 36 hours for the 160km race. Checkpoints for all races will be placed at about 8-12 km intervals, and will provide water and first aid. Participants are responsible for their own in-race nutrition.
As with all 3beavers racing events, super cool swag will be provided to each participant, including an amazing limited-edition Midnight Moose Hoodie for those brave enough to enter the 100km and 160km races, with a special belt buckle for all 160km finishers!
Cut-Off Times
For participants’ safety, cut-offs will be imposed for the 100K and 160km events. The following cut-off times will be in effect and monitored at key Checkpoints along the course.
100K Cutoff – 24hrs (see chart below)
160K Cutoff – 36hrs (runners must make the overall 100K cutoff by 10 PM, but are not held to the same cutoffs at aid stations. Cut-offs for the final loop + 10K are in the chart below)

LE MMU VA SANS TASSE POUR 2019 !!!
VEUILLEZ NOTER: Il n’y aura pas de tasses. Vous devez apporter le vôtre. Nos bénévoles extraordinaires vous aideront à remplir votre tasse, bouteille ou réservoir.
Le Midnight Moose Ultra est une course d’ultra-trail nocturne avec des distances d’environ 25 km, 50 km, 100 km et 160 km à travers quelques-uns des sentiers, pistes de vélo de montagne et équestres les plus difficiles dans le parc de la Gatineau. Utilisant seulement le clair de lune, les lampes frontales et les balises réfléchissantes comme guides, les participants(es) sont mis au défi de terminer la course avant le lever du soleil (pour la course de 50km), avant le coucher du soleil (pour la course de 100km) ou avant le deuxième lever du soleil pour la course de 160km. Il y aura de la nourriture et des breuvages pour tous nos coureurs affamés peu importent leur heure d’arrivée.
Les quatre courses MMU commencent au Camp Fortune à 22h. Nous ne pouvons pas vous dire ce qui se passera après cela: vous allez devoir vous inscrire pour faire l’expérience du Midnight Moose par vous-même! Par contre, sachez qu’aucune des trois distances n’est réservée aux natures sensibles – chacune d’elle étant conçue pour défier, à sa manière, les coureurs de trail les plus endurcis. Ajoutez le facteur nuit et le Midnight Moose est une course de trail difficile qui laissera les participants épuisés et exaltés lorsqu’ils franchiront la ligne d’arrivée au Camp Fortune plusieurs heures plus tard!
Le Midnight Moose Ultra est une course pour s’amuser et découvrir le parc de la Gatineau de nuit. Mais s’amuser signifie aussi être en sécurité. Nous nous attendons donc à ce que tous nos participants qui s’inscrivent aux courses de 100km et 160 km aient l’entraînement et la confiance nécessaires pour mener à terme une course de cette ampleur. Un médecin de course surveillera les progrès des participants pour toutes les distances de course. Le temps limite sera de 24 heures pour la course de 100 km et de 36 heures pour la course de 160 km. Les points de contrôle pour toutes les courses seront placés à environ 8-12 km d’intervalle et fourniront de l’eau et des premiers soins. Les participants sont responsables de leur propre nutrition pendant la course.
Comme pour toutes les épreuves de course 3beavers, des swag super trippants seront offerts à chaque participant. Pour ceux qui sont assez courageux pour participer aux courses de 100 et 160 km, vous aurez l’édition spéciale d’un incroyable chandail à capuchon (hoodie) Midnight Moose ainsi qu’une ‘Belt Buckle’ spéciale pour tous les concurrents du 160 km!
Temps Limites
Pour la sécurité des participants, des temps limites seront imposés pour les épreuves du 100 km et 160 km. Les temps limites suivants seront en vigueur et surveillés aux principaux points de contrôle du parcours.
100K Temps Limite – 24hrs (voir tableau ci-dessous)
160K Temps Limite – 36hrs (Coureurs doivent atteindre la limite de temps pour 100 km avant 22 heures, mais ne sont pas tenus aux limites de temps aux points de contrôle. Les limites de temps pour la boucle finale + 10 K sont dans le tableau ci-dessous.)
