Events
Every summer there is a huge choice of races in the Alps. With trail running becoming the fastest growing sport in the UK and Europe there are new races every year. The more well known races are getting booked up very quickly too, so we advise if you are interested in the race to register straight away! We thought you might like to look at some of the popular challenges available this summer. We have looked into local races, both well known and not so well known locally organised events and below is our summer race guide.
Some of these races give you points, which we have stated. This point system is for entry to the UTMB, CCC and TDS. Points are kept for 2 years onto your record, you can accumulate enough points to enter the races and receive points for completing some of these events. More information can be found on the UTMB site below.
Of course, you don’t need to plan for any of these to stay at RR, there is plenty to challenge you by running in Chamonix, you can see our trails page to get inspired! Contact us, we can help you plan your trip and give ideas if you need them.
