Join us for the ultimate mountain trail running trip in the legendary home of trail running - Chamonix, France. Nestled beneath the mighty Mont Blanc, this is a truly special place. The Mecca of European trail running where the world-famous UTMB takes boasts its epic race. We however are not racing. We're here for chilled vibes, great food and views, and to enjoy 4 nights exploring this wonderful place together. We'll run the trails that wind through alpine meadows, glaciers, and forests, staying high in the mountains at traditional refuges and finally returning to spa luxury in the valley below.

This retreat blends adventure and camaraderie. You’ll begin with a relaxed shakeout run through Chamonix’s wooded hillsides before we head into the high Alps. From there, our route takes us up the valley to Argentiere, home of the best boulangerie in the valley where we’ll pick up lunch for the day and start our running. We’ll quickly head up into the mountains and leave the trees behind as we climb to the mouth of the Glacier du tour. From here we will run in single track heaven along balcony trails to the Swiss border where we’ll be treated to with sweeping views of the Mont Blanc massif. Later we’ll run past turquoise lakes like Lac des Cheserys and Lac blanc before descending back to Chamonix. A hotel on your first, and last night, with 2 very special nights stay in the world famous refuge huts for the middle two nights where we’ll share hearty alpine dinners.

Each day brings a new trail, a new view, and a deeper connection to the mountains. Your main luggage will remain in chamonix town, and we'll head into the mountain with just enough supplies and clothing for 2 nights leaving you to run light. Expect delicious Savoie cuisine, good coffee stops, cold drinks at the huts, and the camaraderie of like-minded runners discovering why Chamonix truly is the world capital of trail running.

All abilities are welcome. Join us for 4 nights and 5 days of pure alpine magic. Run Weekends brings you a mountain running retreat that captures the essence of adventure, comfort, and community in one long weekend.
