The CRYO Races are a truly unique event, offering runners and cross-country skiers the chance to cross Lac Saint-Jean in winter, by day or by night. On February 24, runners and cross-country skiers bathed in sunshine, or experienced runners guided by the beam of their headlamps, will find themselves in the middle of a sea of ice and attempt to meet the physical and psychological challenge of this crossing. They will be supervised and supported as they tackle this icy adventure on mechanically designed routes. Whether they choose the 37-km SUNNY or STARRY crossings, the 13-km Micro-CRYO run, or the 37-km Ski-Lo! cross-country ski crossing, all participants have the same goal: to support the cause of the On the Tip of the Toes Foundation.
