Strava trail challenge in Villars
Put this challenge on your leisure or training programme! 2 courses of varying levels located in Villars.
WANT TO TRY A NEW SPORT THIS SUMMER? WHY NOT TRY TRAIL RUNNING?
It's a sport that doesn't require a lot of equipment and enables you to discover your region and a host of scenic spots. No need to be an expert athlete; everyone can choose his or her pace or even walk to feel more comfortable (even I often walk uphill to lower my pulse rate).
The peaks and summits of the Vaud Alps offer an ideal terrain and a magnificent setting for hikers and trail runners. Run along bucolic paths through meadows, alongside forests and along old mule tracks. Look up and take in the superb scenery - it will reward your efforts.
From 1 July to 30 September, record your time on the Strava platform when you run one of the two trail courses. Those who complete one or more of these routes will be entered into a draw to win prizes!
HOW TO TAKE PART - register on Strava - complete the "Les pyramides de gypse" route or the "Trail des crêtes" between 1 July and 30 September. - take part as many times as you like in one or both challenges - give your best throughout your effort - register your time on the Strava website to be included in the rankings and perhaps win a fantastic prize.
