If anyone was wondering the @tordesgeants hasn’t finished just yet!

The top runners finished yesterday, with the course record being broken by @frankycolle in 66hrs 43min. But the majority of runners are still out there in the mountains, soldiering on despite some less than ideal weather conditions.

Here, Run the Alps guide and coach @hill.performance makes sure that Doug has everything he needs for the next leg of his journey. Crewing a race like this is a totally different ball game. Sometimes you won’t see the runners for almost 20hrs so an uncharged headlamp or forgotten bivi bag can have serious consequences.

Doug is in great spirits despite being on the move for over 90hrs with minimal sleep.

The second night has come for the runners of the Tor des Géants. As the valleys were swallowed in darkness and the headlamps flickered on, there was a sense that the runners were settling into their rhythms that will carry them to the finish line.

It was all smiles heading up the Vertical Kilometer! Another big day spent exploring the Chamonix valley!

Raise your hand if you’ve ever gone on a trail run where you thought you bit off too much only to discover how strong and capable you really are! 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏾

What a way to kick off our tour with special guest @mimmikotka

Today we ran the final section of the @utmbmontblanc race from Col des Montets back into Chamonix, taking a detour up to the stunning Lac Blanc for a traditional mountain refuge lunch of soup, omelettes and blueberry tart - perfect trail running fuel!

And what better way to finish a day of running in the footsteps of giants than a beer at the best bar in town? Thanks for having us @bigmountainbarchx

High above Chamonix, the line between trail running and climbing can get blurry sometimes. @chillie.1 , Community Manager at @thehubchamonix , danced along that fine line this past week. 📷 @hill_adventures

Oof. Internal staff strife. 🤷‍♂️
We're downright envious of our guide Bruno Yates and his guests trail running in the Dolomites right now. (We'll get even soon! Our Chamonix trip with @mimmikotka starts tomorrow!)

Yes, the trail really does go up those cliffs! Switzerland's Gemmipass DIY trail race is one of the most interesting trail runs in the Alps, if not the world-- and it's nearly 25 years old! Run the Alps founder Doug Mayer and Senior Guide Emily Geldard ran the course today, and interviewed its founder. We'll have the story soon, on the Run the Alps web site. #running

Run the Alps guest Casey recently ran the Via Vala

Run the Alps guest Casey recently ran the Via Valais route on a self-guided trip. He had it all, too, from heavy snow to bright sun. But here's perhaps the most touching moment, when he enjoyed the same spot as his mother and grandmother, 60 years earlier. Amazing. Thanks for sharing this, Casey. All moments on the trail are special. But some are more special than others.
