French Alps Trail Running Camps 2012


With a fine group of runners from Estonia, Germany and UK we enjoyed another great trip out to the French Alps. With every kind of weather, night runs, sunrises (without the sun), tackling sections of the UTMB and watching the start and finish of the UTMB, we left the Alps tired and inspired.

Day 1.
Drinking wine and talking running in
the company of Jez Bragg
We headed up to the Tre la Tete refuge and across the ‘route de balcon’ path to Lac Armancette. We covered about 15km and around 1000m of ascent and by the time we’d descended we had a well-deserved dip into a glacial river to cool the aching thighs.

Day 2.
The night run.
