Media Invitation - 17th Edition of Tremblant's 24h - On the way to new records
MONTREAL, Dec. 4, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - This December 8 to 10, Mont-Tremblant Resort will resonate with the energy of the 17th consecutive edition of Tremblant's 24h. More than 3,300 skiers, walkers and runners will have a single ambition over the weekend: to beat last year's fundraising record by raising more than $3.25 million for sick or underprivileged children.
One record that has already been shattered is in the total number of participants. This year, 370 teams will take the challenge, compared with last year's 304, who logged 15,966 downhill runs on the mountain and 28,899 kilometres on the ground, all of which set the previous record.
Media representatives are invited to witness the inspiring and special spirit that reigns on the mountain and the trails and to meet our beneficiaries, sponsored children, ambassadors and participants.
