Cha Cha Ultra Trail
The CHA CHA CHA ULTRA TRAIL, 17-18 September 2022
Created on core values of community, inclusivity and the motivation to showcase Verbier and Val de Bagnes as one of the most scenic trail destinations in Europe. This is a passion project created by runners for runners.
OUR STORY
Set up by Emma Bodkin and Lottie Pridham, entrepreneurs and passionate local trail runners who have lived in Verbier collectively for over 15+ years.
Fuelled by passion and a motivation to put Verbier at the forefront of the trail running stage. They are keen to promote females in this sport and encourage inclusivity, inviting everyone onto the trails with 4 race distances to choose from.

WHAT'S IN THE NAME?
The name, ‘Cha Cha Cha’ symbolizes the dance-like meditative qualities that can be achieved when trail running in the ‘flow state’.
Avid trail runners will argue you can achieve this state on the trail once you literally and metaphorically get into the groove! We want you to join our dance through the alps.
