THE X'TRAIL SPIRIT                                                                                                

Trail Racing is a form of racing that brings you close to nature with ascents and descents, including semi self-sufficiency on distances often superior to marathons. Each year, trail-racing attracts more and more enthusiasts who can be professional athletes as well as casual runners craving challenges.

Nowadays, there are more than 1000 trail races in France and this phenomenon is also developing abroad.

The increasing number of companies to make bids for this emerging market in the last few years is the main proof of this trend.

Innovative principles:

* Itinerary of hundreds of kilometres in the most remote places on Earth.

* Opening up to the World, innovation, pioneering temperament, respect of the human kind and the environment.
