European Championships Recap Earlier this month, the ITRA Team travelled to Annecy, France, for the European Championships as part of the @maxi_race. Despite unfavourable weather conditions, with rain making the course wet and slippery, the event featured three Championship races: the Uphill Mountain race, the Long Trail race, and the Up&Down Mountain race. All races showcasing a competitive field of European athletes. Team France dominated with strong wins in both the Trail race and the Up&Down race. British athlete @joesteward_ claimed victory in the Uphill Mountain race, while German athlete Nina Engelhard impressively won both the Uphill Mountain race and the Up&Down race. Congratulations to all the runners who participated over the weekend. Best of luck with the rest of your racing season this summer! #TrailRunning #Trails #Championships #Explore #Annecy
