Cimalp athletes at the Cimalp Tignes trail
On 19 and 20 August, several Cimalp athletes will take on the trails of the Cimalp Tignes trail. In 2023, the French outdoor brand's Team trail leads the national Team Elites France rankings.
Cimalp, a Drôme-based SME designing technical, innovative, durable and accessible outdoor equipment, entered the trail market in 2014. Two years later, the
Team trail Cimalp is born.
Managed by ultra-trail runner Florian Olivier, it holds an ITRA* rating of 837 in 2023 (815 in 2022) and currently ranks 1st in TEAM ELITES FRANCE NATIONAL in running. Quite a rise!
*To bring greater clarity and readability to French team rankings,
Trails Endurance Mag in collaboration with ITRA, has been establishing a team ranking for 10 years based on the 5 best ITRA ratings of each team to produce an average.
See you at the Cimalp Tignes trail!
