According to research by Salomon, 60% of road runners would gladly swap their asphalt paths for an occasional run in nature. This year, the French sporting goods manufacturer Salomon is organizing various workshops in Switzerland for this purpose under the name "How to trail run," which were launched in Germany in 2016. The aim of the workshops is to show runners the trail running opportunities in their region, train them in trail running techniques and inform them about the right equipment. In doing so, Salomon aims to connect with runners and showcase their products. In April and May, workshops will be held over six days in Zurich and Bern with mobile trail running stations. In Grindelwald, Engelberg and Val d'Anniviers there are Trail Running Lodges all year round, where Salomon products can be tested at any time and workshops are currently being organized. The dates are published on the homepages continuously.
