Beyond Asia: Run Ultra Trails in France!
We are happy to announce our latest partnership with Ultra Trail in France, a travel company that specialises in trail running events. Ultra-trail in France (www.ultratrailinfrance.com) offers tailor-made solutions for runners who want to take part in French trails. The company, chaired by a very experienced ultra trail runner, will likewise be promoting the races on our Asia Trail Master calendar to its European customer database.
“Ultratrail in France” is born out of growing frustration at having no choice but to participate in ‘one size fits all’ package of ultra-trails, mountain races, or marathon trails. These have often been impersonal and lack interesting add-ons besides the race in itself. As trailers, we forget the number of hours elapsed, the number of miles travelled, the elevation hurtled down and climbed back up, the number of pairs of worn shoes. However, we remember the intense joy, the solidarity between trailers, the comfort of the refreshment posts, … and of course the intense feeling of transcendence despite the blows of blues, bad weather, injuries, etc. Let Ultra Trail in France help you to preserve these great memories, don’t let the organisational problems of a package, ‘one size fits all’ holiday spoil your experience.
In particular, Ultra-trail in France offers you:
- The best French ultra-marathons and ultra-trails, including UTMB,
- A winning combination of French specialist in "tailor-made travelling" with the passion of experienced trailers.
