Beginner Trail Runner Takes on the Marathon du Mont Blanc 10K | First Trail Race Experience

In this video, we follow Julius, one of our Meta Endurance videographers, as he steps out from behind the camera and onto the trails to run his very first trail race — the Marathon du Mont Blanc 10K in Chamonix.

With only a few months of running experience and a road 10K PB of ~50 minutes, Julius is no seasoned athlete. While he’s grown up hiking in the mountains, he’s never actually run in them. So the big question is: can a beginner really take on a 10K trail race?

Supported by the Meta Endurance team, Julius takes on the challenge — navigating steep climbs, technical descents, and the unique atmosphere of trail racing in the Alps. At the end of the video, he shares his top 3 tips for amateur runners looking to tackle their first trail race or simply get started in trail running.

Whether you’re a beginner wondering if trail running is for you, or just love the energy of the Mont Blanc Marathon weekend, this is a story of determination, adventure, and community you won’t want to miss.
