Find out more about
trail and fell running.
Beginners beware - it is very addictive!!
In the Southern French Alps there are a number of trail (fell running) races with distances from 12 km to 70km with between 500m and 3000m of ascent.
As with most long distance running races and mountain marathons the objective for most participants is to finish and the ambiance is fun with lots of encouragement and support along the way.
If you like fell running, long distance road running or are already a trail or mountain marathon convert, a race in the Alps really is an experience to add to your running diary!
We have put together a range of trips for runners wishing to participate in trail and fell running events in the Southern French Alps with the options for extending the trip to make a full week holiday.
For supporters we have also included supporters packages for each race for friends and families of runners who want to cheer on their runner and have a bit of a holiday in the Alps too!!
