This much-awaited traditional race for future athletes is set to return in 2023, much to the excitement of young mountain bike enthusiasts.
​
Organized in partnership with the Club Cycliste du Mont-Sainte-Anne, this amateur competition was formerly known as Véli-Kidz and offers young cyclists between the ages of 2 and 12 the opportunity to experience the Mont-Sainte-Anne UCI MTB World Cup just like the professionals. The event serves as an introduction to the world of mountain biking while also promoting the development of youth sports.
​
The race is open to participants with scooters, small wheels, and bicycles, and typically draws around 350 young athletes each year. Accompanying adults gather at the foot of Mont-Sainte-Anne to cheer on the local up-and-comers, creating a lively atmosphere with almost 700 attendees in total. All future athletes receive a medal for the challenge they have completed, a Halloween pumpkin donated by Desjardins, and a healthy snack.
* Tricycles are not allowed.
