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.
