The course
The 2026 105 km road cycling course, an out-and-back on the park's Route Promenade in La Mauricie National Park, Shawinigan.
The start is on Sunday, September 13, 2026, in La Mauricie National Park, Shawinigan. The course follows the Route Promenade from east to west to the far end of the park, then returns the same way. The main climb comes right away: about 180 metres in the first 7 kilometres. The highest point, at 430 metres, is reached at km 24.5, then again on the way back. In all, 1,980 metres of climbing, according to the organizer. This is the exact route plotted here — every turn in its precise place.

Why This Ride
The Défi du parc is the Route Promenade closed to traffic for riders for a day, between the lakes and hills of La Mauricie. Here, it's the big 105 km out-and-back. Your ride, preserved in ink, one line at a time.
Make the Achievement Yours
Add a name, finish time or short dedication to turn the artwork into a personal record of the work behind the medal. Personalization is optional; leave the field blank for the original composition.
How It Is Made
The composition, hierarchy and final linework are directed by a person. A pen plotter then draws the artwork physically, line by line, with ink on paper. Small production variations can occur during physical plotting.
Plotted by a robot. Designed by a person.
