Salomon Running

Introducing our TDS lineup:

Louison Coiffet
Aurore Dacier de Biasi

Notoriously technical, with big elevation, the TDS course covers some of the toughest terrain of the week over 145 km of running. It demands not only strength, but the curiosity to venture off of the beaten path.

Whatever the race brings, stepping up to the demands of this race takes courage.

The race starts at 11:50 pm tonight. Allez!

Selfies, summits and some behind-the-scenes snaps from camp.

Start lines are special, but the memories built along the way are just as important.

Next stop, Chamonix.

Over a decade spent in the ultra-trail game, yet for Lucy Bartholomew Lucy Bartholomew , the best is still to come. She’s learned to accept the ups and downs that come with chasing elite performance and let grace, not pressure, guide her race day.

The result has been one of the best years of her career, and a newfound belief that she belongs at the front.

In a few days, she takes on her fourth lap of Mont Blanc. Lucy’s done it before, but as she knows, no two laps of this famous course are the same.

Preparing for 145 km on some of Chamonix's most technical trails takes commitment, diligence and drive. Louison Coiffet Louison Coiffet has shown he has all three. He's been logging 200 km weeks and hours on the trails in preparation for his biggest race of the year.

Louison’s passion for the mountains makes training a privilege rather than a chore, but race day, and the feeling of finally unleashing that fitness, is the real reward for all the hard work.

Having conquered Marathon du Mont Blanc earlier this year, Louison is ready for another special day in Chamonix.

Tove Alexandersson Tove Alexandersson is a picture of focus and determination when out on the trails. Her ability to put her sights solely onto her goals and shut out the noise has brought her to the top step of podiums from skiing to skyrunning, from orienteering to the world’s biggest trail races.

But it’s not glory that she’s chasing, it’s finding her limits, and discovering how to break through them that truly motivates her.

This year, in her first full season on the trails, she’s pushed the boundaries of the entire sport. Next up, Chamonix awaits, a new stage for Tove to test the reaches of her resolve.

17th in Europe.
2:11:42.

Since he ran his first marathon two years ago, Matthias Kyburz has never feared the distance, and that courage showed again today.

On a really tough course, he put himself in the lead pack and in with a chance of a medal. It didn’t quite happen this time around, but daring to go for it is where every dream day starts.

The last big training block is in the books.

Over 7 days at camp in Chamonix, the team logged thousands of collective kilometers testing nutrition, gear and their legs before the big dance at the end of August.

Trail running looks like a solo sport, but camp is always a reminder that it’s a team effort. From the team chefs to the physios, the entire crew has one shared goal: Be ready to race when the gun goes off.

Welcome to the Salomon family

The best athletes are those that can adapt to any situation. At home on the road, the track, the trails, and even on the bike and on skis, Andrea can do exactly that. But it’s in the mountains where she really comes alive.

With top- 10 finishes in the Golden Trail World Series and UTMB events this year, the sky is the limit for Iceland’s finest.

🇮🇸 Velkomin í Salomon fjölskylduna

Bestu íþróttamennirnir eru þeir sem geta aðlagast öllum aðstæðum. Andrea Kolbeinsdóttir er jafnvíg á götunni, hlaupabrautinni og utanvegastígunum og ekki síður sterk á hjólinu og skíðunum. En það er í fjöllunum sem hún nýtur sín allra best.

Með sæti á meðal tíu efstu í Golden Trail World Series og UTMB keppnum á þessu ári eru íslensku hlaupastjörnunni allir vegir færir.

Nowhere does a summit like Sierre-Zinal.

Thank you for another unforgettable year.
