Trail race with Run the Alps

​​Interested in experiencing an Alps trail race?

Run the Alps partners with a variety of races throughout the Alps so we can offer a limited number of race entries as part of select tours. 

Curious if combining a race with a multi-day tour is doable? In our experience, it absolutely is! We usually work with folks to schedule races towards the end of their tours, so you’re well over any jet lag and have settled into the trail running here. You’ll also usually be able to enjoy a rest day before race day, and there’ll be plenty of people to cheer you on!
