Ville-Marie, August 8, 2024<\/strong> \u2013 With just a month to go before the 3rd edition of the Raid T\u00e9miscamingue, the excitement is approaching a fever pitch! The organizers are proud to announce the headliners and highlights of the 2024 edition, which will take place from September 5 to 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The headliners<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In September, the Raid T\u00e9miscamingue will welcome athletes from across Qu\u00e9bec, including more than 20 from Abitibi-T\u00e9miscamingue, as well as Ontario, and international teams from Finland, the United States, Poland and Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team Def Leoppard<\/em>, winners of the 2023 edition, will be back this year with a vengeance. \u201cWe were blown away by the majestic beauty of T\u00e9miscamingue. The course was stunning and the conditions were perfect. It was a sweet victory! We have great memories of the scenery and the amazing locals, and we\u2019re pumped to defend our title.\u201d, said George Visser, who ran the course with partner Patrick Lussier. In 2023, team Northern Adventure<\/em>, <\/em><\/a>made up of Finns Lauri Heinaro and Lauri Hollo, bounced back from an orientation mistake on Day 1 of the competition to cinch second place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s frontrunners include the elite team Raid Bras du Nord<\/em>, which includes Olympian Lyne Bessette<\/a>, who has racked up several medals in cycling and adventure raids. Alongside Canadian orienteering champion Philippe C\u00f4t\u00e9 Jacques, she\u2019ll be battling for top spot on the podium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first time, a Anishinaabe athlete will take part in the professional section of the raid. A member of Wolf Lake First Nation, Tamara King is involved in a number of community development projects, including running the Algonquin Canoe Company<\/em><\/a>, located on the banks of the Ottawa River. Emilyse Plante-Pelchat, from Town of T\u00e9miscaming, completes team Bichasaabe<\/em>. \u201cWe wanted this project to inspire and bring people together. Year after year, we continue to work closely with the Anishinaabe communities. It means a lot to us to have Algonquin raiders among our athletes.\u201d, says Jean-Thomas Boily, co-founder and director of operations of Endurance Aventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other local athletes include C\u00e9dric de Marneffe and No\u00e9mie Julien, co-owners of the Val-d\u2019Or paddling school Eau Vive Exp\u00e9rience<\/em><\/a>. C\u00e9dric, a topo map expert, will be the pilot and No\u00e9mie, the driving force behind L’\u00c9quipe du Capitaine<\/em>. Team Lafrenz N Gauts<\/em>, a.k.a. Pascal Lafreni\u00e8re and Manon Gauthier, will also proudly represent T\u00e9miscamingue alongside world-class athletes. In both her career and volunteer work, Manon is dedicated to promoting healthy lifestyle habits and inspiring people of all ages to get moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weekend musts<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The international event kicks off on Thursday, September 5, with the opening ceremony at 5 p.m. in the heart of R\u00e9migny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The raid gets underway the next morning, at Rivi\u00e8re-des-Quinze school in Notre-Dame-du-Nord, with a 20-km youth course. Raid T\u00e9miscamingue coordinator Chlo\u00e9 Beaul\u00e9-Poitras says she is proud to give teens this opportunity: \u201cMore than a hundred teens between the ages of 13 and 17 are signed up to run the course, during which they\u2019ll have to dig deep and give it everything they\u2019ve got.\u201d Once again this year, each teen duo will be accompanied by an athlete registered for the international raid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The starting gun on the professional section, presented by Caisse Desjardins du T\u00e9miscamingue, will fire at 8 a.m. sharp on Saturday, September 7. Spectators can head over to the R\u00e9migny recreation centre to watch the first start of the weekend. Between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., the town of Gu\u00e9rin will host a variety of activities at the Lac des Quinze public wharf, including an outdoor picnic. Visitors can also watch the athletes partake in an unusual challenge. Saturday\u2019s stage concludes in Anishinaabe territory, in the community of Timiskaming; the first teams are expected around 2 p.m. Throughout the afternoon and into the early evening, spectators can enjoy traditional Algonquin activities and inflatable games onsite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last departure, at 7 a.m. on Sunday from the Sentier de l\u2019Eau-de-l\u00e0 hiking trail in Notre-Dame-du-Nord, will see raiders tackle the final stage, which will take them to Saint-Bruno-de-Guigues, 70 km away. Not to be missed: The zipline event on Sunday, a spectacular challenge that\u2019s always a big hit with the public. But the highlight of the weekend is always the finish line, located in the equestrian ring at the famous Festival Western de Guigues. A number of community-organized activities will round out this exciting weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
