Raid North Bras
The big mountain bike weekend of Saint-Raymond is driving... and celebrating · Parc Promutuel, Saint-Raymond, Portneuf, Québec, Canada
The festival
In Saint-Raymond, Portneuf, the Raid Bras du Nord has been riding the mountain bike since 2004. For three days, its races — L'Avant Bras (20 km), Le Petit Bras (30/45 km) and Le Gros Bras (60/75 km) — bring together cyclists of all calibres: in 2025, more than 840 of them took the start. Organized by an OBNL who gives its profits to the sports organizations of the region — more than $42,000 redistributed after the 2025 edition — the event is held at the Parc Promutuel, 175 Route des Pioneers.
