Stance RUN - Hood to Trail launch

They’ve pounded the pavements and chased the mile time, yet never taken their love for running outside of the urban perimeter. We selected three of Europe’s most infamous running crews, disconnected them from the city and dropped them into a trail experience. Here’s the story of the Hood to Trail adventure. Buzzing urban jungle or soaring mountain trail – where is your favourite place to run? And how often do you have the chance to swap one for the other? Some runners think that running is running, no matter where they are. But that’s oversimplifying matters – right? The urban street and the mountain trail are completely different. Anyone can see that, surely? Well, only by experiencing both can we hope to answer these questions. So what can we do? Take a group of runners from the city – concrete, street art, culture, bustle – to the mountains – trails, fresh air, solitude, views – in one trip and find out. France offers a great chance to go on a running road-trip from the neighbourhood to the trail on an adventure for the mind, body and soul.
