"We weren't seeking a sporting achievement, we really wanted it to be a human project." Thibaut Baronian Ultra Cape is a human and sports adventure carried out on the beautiful islands of Cape Verde. In December 2021, Thibaut Baronian embarked on a crazy project: to cross 8 of the archipelago's islands by running. A route of about 400 km long and 18,000 meters of positive elevation gain, in the midst of desert and inhospitable landscapes. A few weeks before the departure, Thibaut and his team launched a call for donations, and with the support of the participants, they were able to support several environmental NGOs and local schools. Join us in discovering this exceptional project!

He reminds us that in order to overcome pain, we must overcome our fear of change, and that anything is possible if we just ask; “what am I truly capable of?”.

In a time of uncertain politics and a crescendo of differences, American Ultra-Runner Rickey Gates sets off on foot across America. In the midst of the 2106 National Elections, which saw Republican candidate Donald Trump win the presidential elections, Gates realised that the America he knew wasn’t necessarily the America that was.

Thabang Madiba somehow found his way into the world of trail running and in the last few years has become everyone’s favourite in the South African trail scene. He lives in Ga-Rankuwa township, without a mountain in sight… or a physio, chiro or dietician for that matter.  But through hard work, dedication and passion, he has won the South African Trail Running Championships multiple times and was the first black South African to represent the country in Trail Running. He has become a hero in his community and is hoping to inspire a new generation of youth through the sport of trail running.

In 2018, Emelie Forsberg went back to her homeland to attempt a Fastest Known Time (FKT) in the Kungsleden Trail, a hiking trail in the Swedish Lapland that boasts spectacular wilderness and is usually crossed by hikers in no less than 15 days. She completed the 450km trail in 4 days and 21 hours, beating the current FKT, held since 2017. The trail starts in Abisko in the north and finishes in Hemavan in the south and the highest point is the Tjäktja Pass at 1,150 meters and the lowest at Kvikkjokk (330 meters). The first stage was the longest, with Emelie running 116km through the midnight sun until reaching Saltoluokta, the hut where she worked when she was 19 years old and where her love for the mountains began.

Places you can't even imagine, to places you thought you were never going to go"

In the same thread of his transcontinental run across America and getting to know a very thin line of his own country, Rickey Gates decided to run every single street in San Francisco - to get to know a very small area of America, as well as its people, intimately.

Running is currently one of the fastest growing outdoor activities in China. Six years ago trail running was almost unheard of. Now there are hundreds of trail races every year.

Every weekend, tens of thousands of people, line up at a start line to run a footrace. Why?

The trio explored the Norwegian fjords and mountains by boat before setting off on foot and spending their days running from hut to hut. What is your #runningdreamtrip?

Pack Burro Racing is a sport indigenous to the State of Colorado with origins that are steeped in legend. In a typical burro race, a runner and a burro (donkey) travel a prescribed course together, with the runner leading the burro on a rope. Riding of the burro is not allowed. In fact, the human may carry the burro, but the burro may not carry the human. Trail Runners, Max King and Ryan Sandes, decided to travel to Colorado and enter the 69th Annual Burro Days 30 Mile World Championship Pack Burro Race. After all… How hard can it be?

In Western States 100 - Francois D'Haene's Journey – we follow him on his journey towards the startline in Squaw this June. After cementing his reputation as one of the best technical ultra runners ever, the iconic Californian hundred miler is a risky proposition for Francois who continuously needs to get out of his comfort zone and, in this case, up his cadence, handle the heat and go toe to toe with some of the fastest ultra athletes on the planet.

Last summer, Max King grabbed a running-pack and set off, on foot, to explore a few sections of one of the most iconic roads in the world.

The historic route encouraged travellers to take their time and soak in the landscape, as the it bent and curved around the topography of the American West.

Travelling South along the famed Carretera Austral he discovers a people rich in smiles and a land littered with mountains and glaciers.

Japan’s connection with the natural world has shaped its people’s lives and culture for thousands of years. In ancient times they looked on their mountains as the dwelling places of the gods. This still continues through the Japanese practice of Shugendo which is centred around the examination of our relationship with the natural world. Rickey Gates and Anna Frost travel to the Japanese Alps to explore this shared bond with the mountains.

Our love of nature is a common language. Far away from the realities of the chaotic world the wilderness offers us a playground with its own rhythm and order of existence.

In 2015, in the race’s centenary year, Kilian and Emelie finally did.

One of the most exhilarating aspects of trail running is letting go and charging down a trail. It may sound crazy but running down is often harder and more challenging than running up.

The term “fell” is an often used Northern England expression for hill or mountain. It is presumed that Shepherds were probably the first ever fell runners with the earliest documented accounts of running in the fells dating back to the 11th Century.

In “Of Fells and Hills” we travel with American Writer, Photographer and Trail Runner, Rickey Gates, to the UK to explore and discover the history, culture and legends of the ancient practise of Fell Running.
