Rémi Bonnet

Trail runners push their bodies to the ultimate level of physical and mental endurance. When others’ natural urge to stop kicks in, ultra trail runners are just getting started. They find their daringness at 10,000 meters elevation gain, on a narrow mountainside trail, 150km into a grueling course. Now, four of these elite trail runners are part of the TUDOR family.

MEET THE TUDOR TRAIL RUNNERS

Rémi Bonnet is a Swiss mountain running specialist whose career has been defined by dominance in steep, high-intensity races. He has claimed multiple overall titles in the Golden Trail World Series, establishing himself as one of the fastest climbers in the sport. Bonnet is also a multiple-time world champion in vertical kilometer events, where his explosive uphill speed sets him apart from competitors. Among his notable victories are wins at classic mountain races such as Zegama-Aizkorri, one of the most prestigious events in trail running. His racing style is defined by relentless uphill tempo and technical precision, honed in the Swiss Alps. While primarily focused on shorter formats, Bonnet’s continued success at elite races underscores his status as a leading figure in mountain running and a benchmark for climbing performance worldwide.

It already seems impossible to run 100 kilometers, much less 171km with over 10,000 meters of elevation gain, and that’s to be taken literally. To anyone “normal”, it’s unthinkable. But for Courtney Dauwalter, Miao Yao, Rémi Bonnet, and Baptiste Chassagne, it’s what they were born to do. It’s where they find meaning and purpose. Their singular mindset is what allows them to find the strength and will to do what anyone else can’t. These four prominent trail runners are now part of the TUDOR family because their mindset is exactly what it means to be born to dare. They’re not just leading trail runners, they’re some of the world’s most elite athletes, period.
