Brave the lake in winter at night
The 32km course is the most demanding of the CRYO races. The only one of its kind, this crossing allows athletes who are up to the challenge to run in winter, in the dark, on magnificent lac St-Jean. The STARRY Traverse adventure begins just before sunset. Athletes take to the lake on a groomed, marked trail interspersed with refreshment points. In the middle of lac Saint-Jean, on the endless white lake, they’ll experience a change of scenery for sure.
