Maverick x TENZING Trails Camp Chamonix 2024
July 26 - 28 2024 | Chamonix-Mont-Blanc
Remote landscapes, jagged routes and mountains of elevation. Welcome to the Maverick x TENZING Trails. These small-scale, intimate camps are attended by those who are in pursuit of adventure. Taking place in stunning corners of our globe, each camp location has been carefully curated to showcase the best trail running each location has to offer. The sense of achievement never comes from comfort, power the way to your summit and crush it with our Maverick x TENZING Trails.
Once again our Camp series returns to the incredible trail mecca that is Chamonix. This is the beating heart of European trail running, home to stories of adventure and the ever-popular UTMB Finals, all sitting under the splendour of the mighty Mont Blanc. The trails weave up through the mountains opening on magnificent vistas, something we want everyone to enjoy.
This camp isn’t aimed at elite athletes, it’s for anyone who wants to come and enjoy exploring the mountain trails with us. Most of all, we want to make a weekend of adventure you won’t forget and help you improve in whatever way you need to get to your running goals.
