Four Russians won a ticket to the Gore-Tex training camp

WL Gore & Associates conducted a training course in the Dolomites of the European Trailrun Camp under the GORE-TEX Experience Tour for adventure seekers. From 21 to 24 July, four Russians won a ticket to the camp. Our compatriots embarked on a dream journey for the first time in the history of the GORE-TEX Experience Tour.

The winners from Russia (I. Petrov, A. Rostovtsev, M. Aleshina and N. Lukyanets), as well as their “colleagues” from other European countries, will have classes with mountain running professionals and coaches, as well as a chance to find a partner to participate in an international marathon GORE-TEX Transalpine Run 2011, official registration for which has already closed. Meanwhile, the GORE-TEX Experience Tour continues, and everyone can go on their next journey with GORE-TEX - just follow the program's news on its Facebook page.

On the eve of the start of the European Trailrun Camp, the Russian project participants spoke about the preparations for the event. “In order not to miss anything on the project, I equip myself in full. I take with me 3 pairs of shoes with a GORE-TEX membrane, 2-3 sets of clothes and, without fail, pants and a jacket with GORE-TEX. It is not a fact that I will have time to use everything, but these things should always be in reserve - as a last resort, I can share with someone, ”Petrov says about the equipment.
