Sylvain and Marine MARULAZ

Mountain Leaders

biography

Sylvain: Coming from high-level mountain biking, I switched to trail running about twenty years ago.

Marine: I discovered intense sport through high-level horse riding. I fell in love with trail running about fifteen years ago.

Both of us: Together for 10 years, trail running has always been the backbone of our balance as a couple. We enjoy living our sporting projects together and are increasingly fond of ultra-long distances that reconnect us with nature. As parents, we have learned to love very early morning training sessions; it has almost become our trademark!

Landmarks & field tips

• Don't neglect the quality of your equipment, especially for very long efforts where the slightest flaw can have major consequences.
