The Spirit of Trail Running

Reawaken Our Ancestors.

Trail running reawakens our ancient connection to the wild. In this short film “Wild the Run” captured some of the spirit of trail running, why they run, why it’s such a special and personal experience. The guys are showing that anyone can trail run. You don’t have to be elite, it’s open to all people to enjoy.

Our ancestors were deeply connected to the wild. It provided them with life and purpose. Trail running reawakens that ancient connection. The feeling of the path flowing beneath your feet, leaving behind the bad dreams of life, those stresses, responsibilities. Along the way we learn to embrace nature and discover who we are.

Each time we put on our shoes and head off down a trail, we leave behind all the clutter of life. Every turn in the path brings a sense of renewal. This feeling this connection, is routed in our very nature.
We dare to step out onto these timeless, ancient, rocky giants with their tongues of ice licking the valleys below their steep precipices.
We dance along their flanks and tip toe on their backs and occasionally we are allowed to stand with them in the sun. Sharing their eternal view. And for a moment. Just a flicker of a moment. Everything stops.

Tour du Mont Blanc with Run the Wild

Run the first half of the ultimate iconic multi-day trail running route in the Alps, the Tour du Mont Blanc! It follows one of the world’s toughest 100 milers, the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc, circumnavigating the highest mountain in the Alps, Mont Blanc at 4,810m and passing by its 71 glaciers and 400 summits. On this trip we split the usual 6 day Tour du Mont Blanc in half, which is ideal for those who want to experience the thrill of this incredible trail but without having to complete it all in one go!
