LANAUDIÈRE REGION, (QC) OCTOBER 2024

More than 20 000 men across the world have gone before you in this epic adventure called the Xtreme Character Challenge (XCC). Ordinary men, who are willing to leap into the unknown, challenging themselves to become better at friendships, relationships and most of all, in their own families! Men who are willing to become more outwardly focused, more purposeful, and ready to take up their roles in their homes and societies.

Now it’s your turn! Come with and learn how to make a difference in your unique way. Let’s do some guy stuff!
The beautiful Lanaudière region is situated 30 km  North-East of Montreal,  and includes the valleys of L’Assomption and Ouareau rivers.

During this 72-hour epic adventure, you will journey significant mileage and confront many physical and mental challenges. But the distance that matters is the 250 millimeters between your head and your heart. You will battle the elements, battle with yourself, and with God! But this time, you won’t be alone, you will do it in teams of tens, all on the same journey.

You will invest both time and money in one of the most valuable investments you can make in your life. The XCC is not merely an extended weekend; it is a journey of brotherhood to the foot of the Cross. If you decide to accept the challenge, you must make this decision wholeheartedly. You will not have a private hot shower at your disposal; in fact, there will be no showers and no running water! No bunk beds or cozy lodges. You’ll leave your mobile phones and watches at the start line! This is unlike any other challenge. This could be the most significant milestone in your life!

It is important that you prepare physically for this XCC. You don’t have to be in top physical condition, but you should be able to carry a fully loaded backpack over rough terrain for 72 hours, and still have some energy/strength left to help another if the need arises. Start training now!
