The MS mountain bike challenge – August 20th 2022
When going down a hill lifts mountains
The MS Mountain Bike Challenge, organized in support of the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, is back with 15 km and 30 km courses. Hundreds of passionate mountain bikers will once again have the chance to take on proven cross-country and enduro courses, trying to beat their best times. A friendly competition open to mountain bike enthusiasts of all levels!
Festive atmosphere, gifts, meals, aperitif, not to mention the many activities available on site for supporters – all the ingredients for an ideal day will be present. A participant from the last edition is looking forward to August 20 with great enthusiasm, delighted with her memories of the first MS Bike Challenge: “There was a very pleasant atmosphere, based largely on a strong spirit of camaraderie. People were talking to each other and the organization was very attentive. Really, we were blown away and loved our day!”
A mission with a dual purpose
“Physical activity is at the heart of Mont SUTTON’s values. The MS Bike Challenge not only allows you to do an activity that is based on surpassing yourself, but also to do it for a good cause. Mont SUTTON is proud to join the fundraiser organized again this year”, says Jean-Michel Ryan, CEO of Mont SUTTON.
In addition to being a pretext to raise funds to support research to fight MS, this sporting challenge conveys a message that underlines the importance of physical activity. In the case of multiple sclerosis, as with many other diseases, it is also a way of pushing back the constraints imposed by MS on a daily basis.
In short, whether you’re on your own or in a team, it’s a must for everyone on August 20!
In addition, a silent auction will be held and everyone, runners or not, can participate in order to raise funds for the MS Society of Canada.

After an MRI i was diagnosed of MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS. After years on medications, symptoms worsened with tremors on my right hand, numbness and tingling, muscle weakness and loss of speech. Fortunately last year, i learnt about Health Herbs Clinic and their Multiple Sclerosis alternative treatment (ww w. healthherbsclinic. com), the Multiple Sclerosis treatment made a great difference, most of my symptoms including tremors, weakness and others gradually disappeared. I improved greatly over the 6 months treatment, its been a years since the treatment, i have no symptoms. I have a very good quality of life and a supportive family!
We are really glad to hear that. All the best.
