With its latest campaign, "This is Trail Running", Salomon offers you the opportunity to discover or rediscover this discipline. Perfect for broadening your horizons and your playing field.
Not always easy to start a new sport. Knowing how to equip yourself, discovering how your body reacts, exploring new spots... When everything is new, wouldn't it be ideal to take your first steps with those who have known and practiced this sport for a long time? This is what Salomon proposes with its campaign "This is Trail Running. A discipline that involves running in the great outdoors, trail running is also intimately linked to altitude differences. Unlike the world of running or marathons, where you're looking for flat terrain, going up and down is part of the DNA of trail running. But of course it's possible to trail run even when you're not in the high mountains.
And if running uphill on trails seems too difficult, you should know that walking is also a habit for trail runners. In fact, even professionals slow down their pace on certain sections of ultra-trails (events over 100 km in distance). Finally, the diversity of the terrain covered is another important feature of trail running. Dirt, pebbles, mud, grass or even snow... The idea is to adapt to all surfaces encountered and to know how to play with this variety of trails.
As part of its "This is Trail Running" campaign, Salomon also offers advice on its website on how to best equip yourself and your family. choose the right pair of trail shoes for example You'll also be able to choose from a wide range of different models to suit your running style, such as the brand's latest Sense Ride 5 (see below).
