Running in the Alps. The Mont Blanc is 100% trail running passion. Territory, endurance, respect for your opponent. And also grueling trails, heart-stopping views, unspoiled nature and fresh air. These are the trail running elements that have a home in Courmayeur.
Wild nature, conformation of the land, Alpine surroundings and fresh mountain air gather a great number of enthusiasts as well as the greatest international trail runners.
To take part in a trail running competition you need the pride to take on a challenge with yourself, as well as the desire to get better. (Marco Olmo, italian trail running marathoner)
