On Thursday 18th July, we launched our London store ‘Mountain Series’ with an inspiring evening featuring accomplished ultra trail runner Yvette Casallas. The event drew a fantastic crowd, filling our store with a vibrant community of outdoor enthusiasts eager to connect and learn.

Yvette captivated the audience with her journey from solo city runs to embracing the trail-running community. She shared how joining a local outdoor running group transformed her routine, leading her to explore picturesque & challenging trails across Europe and participate in mountainous ultra races. Her stories lit up the room, sparking a lively Q&A session that continued long after the talk ended. Yvette’s insights into race preparation, training for long-distance runs, and overcoming challenges on the trail resonated deeply with the audience.

Thank you, Yvette, for sharing your journey, and a big thanks to everyone who joined the talk. We’re excited for our next Mountain Series event on 11th September. Sign up for the next London Klättermusen event here.
