Samuel Matte-Thibault is the Event Director for Événements Harricana and the only paid employee. So Event Director means all the jobs. And he wouldn’t have it any other way. He’s incredibly passionate about bringing the community together, he loves having a cause behind all the races, and he’s excited for the 2026 calendar.

His description of the events they host is great to hear, and I think you’re gonna be intrigued by what they’re doing in Quebec. The races sound like large celebrations of the sport in beautiful and challenging locations.

He’s even offering a chance to join him and thousands of trail runners at UTHC in 2026. Check out our IG page for contest details and find out how you can win a bib and accommodations!
