I've always loved the mountains and running among their trees and rocks.One of my most memorable race experiences was snowrunning in the Sierra Nevada, running at night in the snow, darkness all around, with cold, wind, and rain — just me and the mountain. That feeling of solitude and connection with nature is unforgettable. My pre-race ritual is a short jog to release nerves while chatting with fellow competitors.

I’m Samu, a mountain runner who found his true passion in 2016 after years of MTB, duathlon, and triathlon. Trail running isn’t just a sport for me; it’s a way to escape the ordinary, explore hidden corners of the world, and reconnect with myself. I love driving my camper van to remote villages, discovering trails untouched by most, and challenging my limits on rugged paths.
