The Trail Runners’ Refuge – Lagoped x Alltricks at UTMB 2026

UTMB 2026 is a week when Chamonix becomes the center of the trail-running world. This year, Refuge Lagoped is reaching a new summit: Lagoped is teaming up with Alltricks to offer you the best outdoor experience in the heart of the valley.

More than a shop, it’s your gathering place to experience UTMB 2026 differently. On the agenda: a carefully curated technical selection, social runs to test your legs on Chamonix’s balconies, competitions, and activities throughout the week.

Whether you’re a runner, supporter, or simply a lover of the mountains, stop by the Refuge during UTMB 2026.

A race within the race. TA Energy, a sports nutrition brand for endurance athletes, and Campus Coach, a coaching platform designed to meet every runner’s individual needs, are joining us for a photo scavenger hunt through the streets of Chamonix. Start and finish at the Refuge. Teams of two or three, a 3.5- to 5-km route between the village’s iconic landmarks, and TA products to test and sample throughout the course. A fun format accessible to everyone, offering a different way to experience Chamonix during UTMB 2026 week. Expected to finish around 6:30 p.m.

Start UTMB 2026 week with Julien Absalon, a two-time Olympic mountain biking champion turned trail-running enthusiast. On the agenda: a run along Chamonix’s balconies and testing the new HOKA Tecton X4 shoes (27 pairs available). Breakfast at the Refuge upon return.

In the afternoon, a second run to celebrate this UTMB 2026 week, accompanied by Deuter athletes Grégoire Curmer and Florent Olivier. An opportunity to test the brand’s hydration vests and belts in real-world conditions.

Mathieu Blanchard, one of the most accomplished ultra-trail runners of his generation, opens the day at the Refuge. As a partner of the 100% eyewear brand, he comes to share his perspective on the sport, the challenges of high-level competition, and what drives him beyond the finish lines. He will also discuss his involvement with his partners, particularly the 100% teams, in product development and field feedback. A one-hour discussion to start the day before the main races begin. 

Registration required; limited places.
