OUR RISING STARS SHINE AT MONT-BLANC MARATHON!
Competing together for the first time, our youth trail team tackled one of the biggest International races on the circuit...
Sofia Chetelat – Champion in the Mont-Blanc 10km This Swiss cross and track specialist, Sofia Chetelat delivered a fearless performance to take victory in the women’s 10km race. On a fast course, she delivered perfectly!
Gerard Lopez – U18 Victory in the Young Race Spain’s Gerard Lopez Serra proved again why he’s one of the most exciting young names in trail running. His win in the U18 Youth Race came with assertive pacing and clinical downhill execution, a clear sign of what’s to come.
Jonas Oliva – 18th in the U20 Category A top 20 finish in the competitive U20 race for the Swiss athlete Jonas Oliva depsite suffering in the extreme heat conditions.
Lisa Delacroix – 2nd Junior in the 23km du Mont-Blanc On one of the most competitive stages of the weekend, Lisa Delacroix placed 18th overall and 2nd Junior in the 23km, a top result where she made her first step up to the elite field.

Kieran Hardie, competing in the U20 race, was forced to stop mid-race after showing signs of heat exhaustion. Thankfully, he's recovering well and already looking ahead to the next challenge.
ROSA AND THERES OUTSTANDING AGAIN IN CHAMONIX!
Rosa Lara and Theres Leboeuf impress in the mythical 42km du Mont-Blanc, finishing 4 and 7 places... th th In a weekend packed with breathtaking performances and epic battles on the trails, two of our fiercest women delivered standout results in the flagship event of the Mont Blanc Marathon; the legendary 42km du Mont-Blanc. In extreme heat conditions, our ladies were incredible in a field stacked with world-class talent, they proved they belong firmly among the elite.
Rosa Lara – 4th Place, and Faster Than Ever Fresh off a brilliant run at Zegama-Aizkorri, Spain’s Rosa Lara came into Chamonix with quiet confidence and a clear mission: to improve on her 5th place finish in 2024. Though the opening kilometers didn’t unfold exactly as planned, Rosa stayed calm. She climbed steadily back through the field, hitting Vallorcine in 4th, and charging into the dramatic closing stages with podium in sight. By La Flégère, the gap between 2nd and 5th was just seconds. But a late-race fall on the technical final descent halted the momentum. Rosa held on brilliantly to finish 4th once again but this time seven minutes faster than her result last year!!
Theres Leboeuf – 7th Place in a Stacked International Field Switzerland’s Theres Leboeuf continues to be one of the most consistent and she showed exactly why in this race. Always within striking distance of the lead pack, Theres battled through the steep climbs and tricky descents with her trademark grit. She hovered between 5th and 8th throughout the day, eventually securing a strong 7th place finish, just minutes behind Rosa. Friday’s 90km race saw
Thibaut Garrivier show flashes of brilliance, pushing hard in the top 5 before being forced to withdraw later in the day. We know he’ll be back stronger soon.
