Salomon proudly introduces its 2025 International Trail Running Team, featuring new recruits from the brand’s science-based scouting program along the best short and long-distance trail runners, some who have been with Salomon for over 15 years.
Since its creation in 2004, the Salomon International Trail Running team has welcomed the best mountain runners in the world. From short distances to 100-milers, from the Alps to the Rocky Mountains, Salomon athletes have been racing and winning from over 20 years.
A science-based approach to performance
“The sport of trail-running has changed greatly over the past two decades,” shares Scott Mellin, Salomon Global Chief Brand Officer. “From now on, we intend to reinvent the sport of trail running from its current state to a future state where athlete performance in the biggest races is highly science-based, engineered and predictable. This revolution is aligned with our focus on product innovation, like the S/LAB Ultra Glide, to ensure we have the best athlete running in the best product at every race we enter.”
For the first time, Salomon has launched a cutting-edge Athlete Performance Program, led by renowned sports scientist Aitor Viribay. This program is designed to elevate athlete performance through science-based training, custom gear, and a dedicated team of specialists – including physiologists, doctors, nutritionists, sport scientists, and a strength and conditioning coach.
