The ATAXIA CHALLENGE will take place on Saturday, August 13th, 2023 in Chambly, at the Parc des Ateliers in collaboration with Parks Canada. It is an opportunity to do your part. Because moving together is to advance research together!
It’s finally the return of the Ataxia Challenge following the health measures of the past few years! We want to come back strong, and we are organizing a special event to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the foundation. To mark this anniversary, the challenge will be to take turns with team’s relay to complete 50 laps of an athletics track. 50 laps is 20 km! But with several teams and participants we can do it together!
