The Cha Cha Cha Ultra Trail series is a race for runners created by runners.
An annual event held in Verbier and the surrounding areas during September. Arguably one of the most scenic trail events in Europe. Offering 4 distances through the heart of the alps there is a race for all abilities; 82km, 43km, 21km & 10km. Designed in lockdown with the idea of creating something positive for local runners in the community to train for. The race was a sell out success in 2020, executed with precision and from then has grown organically. We invite all running communities to join us for a trail race like no other. Think punchy climbs, epic scenery, community spirit and an incredible atmosphere.
