Join The Mirnavator to learn trail running skills in the world's trail running capital!
If you’ve been running for a while, and are now psyched to get out on the trails, this trip will give you the skills and confidence you need. In a light-hearted and non-judgmental setting, Mirna Valerio and experienced Run the Alps guides will spend time covering a range of trail running topics, with individual feedback to best help you on your trail running journey. As well as being an experienced sponsored trail runner, an advocate for inclusion in the trail running community, and successful writer and speaker, Mirna is one of the most fun and positive people we’ve ever met. Her passion for trail running and the mountains of the Alps is contagious, and Mirna will be there to support you as you share in this trail running experience.On this level 1 tour, we’ll be running around 4-8 miles (6-13 km) with 1000–3000 feet (300–915m) of climbing and descending each day, with some options to shorten or lengthen the running route.
On this trip, we’ll cover essential skills for trail running:
warm-up sessions before each run and stretching sessions afterwardsstrength, mobility and injury prevention workshopascending and descending slopes effective use of polesmoving on technical terrainwhat gear to useThroughout the week you’ll also learn how to plan your own trail running routes safely and navigate along the way. This will culminate in the group having more of an active role in deciding the running route at the end of the week, taking into account the weather, the terrain and your trail running goals.

24 hours non-stop? Yes, yes, you read it right, the T24 Xtrem Triathlon, is no joke 😬. Anyway, just from its name you can understand, it's an extreme event 😶. Here, see you in Passy, in the beautiful French Alps 🇫🇷. At the foot of the Fiz chain, the mountains will be your allies for this course ⛰️. You will be between the turquoise lake, the Mont-Blanc, and the hamlets of the Plain 📍. Maybe that's what they call a dream setting 💭. We've mentioned the mountains but don't worry, the elevation won't be killer, just an accompaniment 😉. By combining the swim, bike, and run, you'll come out with legs on fire 🔥. Your month of September will thus be punctuated by this challenge, gearing you up for the return to school 💼. Well, given what's planned, alone it could be daunting, but NO PANIC, 95% of participants do this challenge in groups! Yes, you can do all of this in duo or in relay of 4 or 6. 👯♀️
