Your trips look great, but I’m a little worried about being too slow!
Don’t worry– it’s the most common concern we get!
On our guided trips, no one is expected to “keep up” at all costs. Groups naturally spread out, guides manage pacing, and the culture is supportive rather than competitive. The goal is a shared mountain experience, not a race.
Run the Alps offers a range of trips, so you can find one that suits your needs. Choosing the right trip level is important for both your enjoyment and the group dynamic. We provide tour ratings for every trip, and are happy to help you select the option that best matches your fitness and experience. When needed, we work to accommodate individual pacing so no one feels pressured. Read our blog Every Trail Runner’s Biggest Fear: Keeping Up With the Group to learn more.
