The Swiss Alps 100 Endurance Run is having a moment. Meet the event’s energetic, director Jakob Herrmann.

Here are some apps we find most useful in the Alps!

If your schedule doesn’t allow you to run with us during the summer months, or if you like the sound of fall leaves on the trails, we hope you’ll consider our new fall trips! 

Run the Alps is excited to release a new trail running guidebook to the region around Mont Blanc, including Chamonix, France and adjacent regions in Italy and Switzerland.

Depending on what you’re looking for in a multi-day trail running adventure, you just might find these routes preferable to the Tour du Mont-Blanc (TMB).

Here’s the genesis story of what became The Hub, Chamonix. 

The company, named simply after its founder Pierre Gignoux, makes what are widely considered to be the best ski mountaineering boots in the world.

It’s true. One of the world’s great ultrarunners is turning his attention to one of the world’s toughest races.

François D’Haene and Carline Traub’s Ultra Spirit is a team-based, multi-day trail running event with a spirit of friendship and adventure.

What did we talk about while running and hanging out with Courtney and Kevin on our Dolomites trip? Save a few minutes here or there, it wasn’t splits or race strategies or millimeters of drop in the latest trail running shoes. We talked about… life.
