The project: GORE-TEX® Experience Tour – European Trailrun Camp in the Dolomites 2011
GORE initiated just another great project as part of the GORE-TEX® Experience Tour: The European Trailrun Camp in the Dolomites 2011. Via facebook 20 applicants – enthusiastic trailrunners from all over Europe – were chosen to take part of this project/camp.
We were chosen and part of it – and had an incredible time (see our blog posts)!

General information:

They can analyze their individual performance level, learn about trail running techniques and mental strength, try various GORE-TEX® trail running shoes and clothing and will get inspired by fascinating movies and photos presented by people who have actually completed these races.
From july 21st to july 24th the 20 lucky winners can expect to take part in an exciting trail running event involving all kinds of different activities:
