"One of the best trips ever, on par with going skiing. From start to finish was just awesome. The run, the pit stop snacks, the passing of knowledge on old mans beard, the dogs etc was just brilliant. Thank you!!" Krisan - June 2019
"Amazing environment, great people and excellent local cheese facts. I couldn't have hoped for anyhting more." Matt - June 2019
"This was a great adventure. I was nervous on the day I showed up knowing that I was not be fastest or the strongest runner, but with Simon it didn't matter. It turned out everyone who signed up felt the same. The trail course had the right amount of endurance to push us beyond our comfort zone, but left us feeling like we accomplished something. Plus, the views are incredible. If you are unsure, sign up. You will love it." Michelle - June 2018
"Fantastic team that obviously love what they are doing and are keen to share it with others. The French alps was an amazing location, so thank you for taking us there! Your knowledge of the area, advise and trail running tips were great. I'd happily recommend Run The Wild for trail running adventures." Amy - June 2018

"I went on the introduction to the Alps trip at the beginning of August with three friends and we had a spectacular time. The Spa hotel is lovely and the Jacuzzi and Sauna were massively appeciated as the running is obviously hard on your body even if you are quite fit. I was nervous about how I would handle the altitude and to be honest I did struggle on the first day but Emily was an excellent guide and she kept me going – thank goodness as it was one of the most satisfying runs I’ve ever had. By day two we had all acclimatised and we had a really good solid run over all sorts of terrain with a couple pitstops to eat wild strawberries and take in the scenery while we stretched. The scenery is exquisite! Another nice touch is that Simon brings you delicious snacks for lunch and everything tastes a hundred times better because you deserve it – especially the Nutella filled crepes.
"I highly recommend going on this run as Emily and Simon are fantastic guides and hosts and they are both totally passionate about exercising outdoors. Best of all it was a really special bonding experience for all of us as friends. I can’t wait to go on another trip." Victoria - August 2014
