Late August transforms Chamonix into the epicenter of trail running as rabbit hosts an array of community-building events across two key locations. The heart of these gatherings is at Hotel Le Faucigny, where runners can participate in shakeout runs and daily activations, engage with educational panels, and connect with fellow enthusiasts. The hotel serves not only as a meeting point but also as the backdrop for exclusive appearances by notable figures such as Trail Society Podcast host Hillary Allen and Chamonix-based professional trail runner Natalia Mastrota. These events offer runners an opportunity to interact closely with industry leaders and share insights into their training, experiences, and challenges. For those interested in shopping or exploring new gear, rabbit's Vendor Village Chalet at Place du Mont-Blanc provides a vibrant space filled with the latest offerings from leading brands. The chalet is open throughout the week, offering visitors the chance to shop exclusive items designed specifically for the Chamonix event collection. Pop-Up Hours at Hotel Le Faucigny are scheduled daily during the week, providing ample time for runners and fans alike to engage in activities or simply unwind after a day of exploration. On Sundays, the pop-up remains open until mid-morning, ensuring that even those who prefer late starts can still partake in the festivities. Vendor Village Hours vary slightly from Monday through Friday, allowing visitors flexibility as they plan their visits around other commitments and events happening across Chamonix. The village's extended hours provide a comprehensive experience for all attendees, whether they are seasoned pros or casual enthusiasts looking to deepen their connection with trail running culture. This event promises an immersive blend of community engagement, exclusive appearances by renowned figures in the sport, and opportunities for shopping and socializing—all set against the stunning backdrop of Chamonix.
