Discovering the trail with Salomon and "This is Trail Running

With its latest campaign called "This is Trail Running", Salomon offers you the opportunity to discover or rediscover this discipline. Perfect for broadening your horizon 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 consists of running in the middle of nature, trail running is also intimately linked to the difference in altitude. Contrary to the world of running or marathons, where you are looking for flat terrain, going up and down is part of the DNA of trail running. But it is obviously possible to do trail running, even when you are not running in the high mountains.

And if running uphill on trails may seem too difficult, you should know that walking is also a habit for runners. In fact, even professionals slow down on certain sections of ultra-trails (events whose distance exceeds 100 km). Finally, the diversity of the terrain used is another important characteristic of the trail. Earth, rocks, mud, grass or even snow... The idea is to adapt to all the surfaces encountered and to know how to play with this variety of trails.

In its "This is Trail Running" campaign, Salomon also advises you on its website to better equip yourself and choose the right pair of trail shoes for example The Sense Ride 5 is a great example of this, as is the brand's latest Sense Ride 5 (see below). Finally, by signing up as an S/Plus member or joining the Strava "Salomon Running" club, you can participate in solo or group challenges with rewards.

Discover also the Salomon athletes Rémi Bonnet, Courtney Dauwalter or Malene Osa. Their conception of running in the wilderness and what motivates them in trail running are also a source of inspiration when you are new to the discipline. Now all you have to do is put on your shoes and hit the trails.
