Baptiste Chassagne.
Ultra Trail | France
BIOGRAPHY
I used to run for them. Now, I run with them.
My name is Baptiste and I'm an aspiring ultra-trailer runner. I have already completed a few ultras, but I still have many kilometers to cover, a multitude of peaks to discover, and a mountain of things to learn. My first trail experience was at the SaintéLyon, which has become my favorite race. It was there that I discovered the sport, its community, its spirit, and the values that make it special. Combloux, at the foot of Mont Blanc, is my favorite training ground, my happy place, the land of my passion.

What's your biggest dream?
My ultimate dream is to become a champion, legitimate by his results and inspiring through his approach and actions.
What's your greatest source of motivation in difficult times ?
My family who supports me in my project since kilometer zero with energy and without pressure. Remembering that nobody forced me to be here. Reminding myself that it's a privilege to have these kinds of good "hard times", because I can put an end to them whenever I want. To be resilient, because even if the result doesn't necessarily make me happy, going all the way will make me proud.
