The Story of the Photo: Trail Running Chamonix Mont Blanc

Trail Running Chamonix Mont Blanc, 2019

2019 marked a major turning point in our lives. With everything going well since Kim joined the team in 2016, it all went suddenly sideways when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her life was upended, and she decided to move back to the US for treatment. As her departure date grew closer, we spent all our time running our favorite trails, hanging on to what we love to do, and trying to continue working.

Just before flying to California, we spent a few days in Chamonix at the peak of the fall colors. A few final days before the golds would fade.

In 2022, we created an online guide to the best trails in Chamonix.

This running image, made in 2004 of the Glacier du Tour, was something I always wanted to return to and recreate. I’ve watched the glacier shrink more and more every year.
