Dear Runners,

About TriMetrix:

TriMetrix is an organization dedicated to promoting holistic fitness and health by helping individuals achieve their fitness goals in swimming, cycling, running, and triathlon across various distances, including medium, long, and ultra-distance courses.

We transform ordinary individuals into athletes.

As part of our mission, we have initiated non-profit events to raise awareness about the sport.

About Trail Running:

Trail running is a sport that reconnects humans with nature, encouraging them to escape the confines of urban environments. All our runs take place off-road, making them more challenging due to the varied terrain and offering breathtaking views. The farther you make on the course, the more beautiful it gets. Once you fall in love with trails, you'll never want to run on roads again.
