Alexia Coudray
TRAIL RUNNING
Alexia is an inspiring woman with incredible motivation! Originally from Mont Ventoux, she is a PE teacher and sports are an integral part of her life.
Before trail running, she played handball, tennis, and many other outdoor sports. She started running later on in life, about 7 years ago. Since then, she's been a bib junkie!
In 2021, she pinned up to 30 bibs between June and December. In 2022, our Southeastern trailer plans to venture further into the high mountains, especially with Skyrunning considered an extreme sport of running, with events at over 2,000 meters, on a slope of over 30% and climbing portions... And in her spare time, she likes to clown around and make her friends laugh.
