The brief

Stance wanted to properly connect with the trail running community. Not sponsor it from a distance. Be part of it.

So we teamed up with Dwell in Motion, a running community that already lives for this stuff, on a trip to one of trail running's most famous playgrounds: Mont Blanc.

What we did

‘Part race prep for UTMB Nice, part pure escape.’Dwell in Motion

Six days around Chamonix with the Dwell in Motion crew. Long climbs, sunrise runs, cold swims in glacier-fed streams, and the big one: the climb to La Jonction, around 1,600 m up from the valley floor with glaciers on both sides.

Stance was there in the kit and in the moments, not on a banner. Everything we captured was shared between Stance and the community, and built to work across both paid and earned.
