La Montee du Nid d’Aigle was a highly anticipated race for us and it certainly didn’t disappoint. With its race hub in beautiful Saint-Gervais-Les-Bains, in the Haute-Savoie region of France, we knew it would provide a stunning setting, but pull this together with a tough course and a field of top runners and you have all the ingredients of a really fantastic mountain running race.
This year’s World Cup is a mix of old classics and new races and our next race, La Montee Du Nid d’Aigle, on Saturday 17th July is a bit of both!

Which is hard to believe because this race has all of the hallmarks of a fantastic mountain race.
