Up & Coming –
Team Salomon Charlotte Taquet

Charlotte used to run casually and hike with friends, later on she discovered she liked it a lot, was actually good at it and started looking into different ways of how to improve her running.

With strong will and mental power, which are Charlotte’s best qualities, she will try everything in her power to achieve any target she might put her eyes on.

“I started trail running as a hobby to spend time with friends who love sports in Hong Kong, and since then I have become addicted to it. I really love being outside, trail running is the best way for me to relax, de-stress and enjoy the moment,” said the busy working legal advisor.

Both originated from the Alps, Salomon to Charlotte is the reference for outdoor activities. “I grew up with the brand, when I skied and hiked in France, and now as I train for trail running and race in Hong Kong and abroad. Trail running is definitely a "time to play" for me and I get excited to use such an excellent gear.”

A hardcore trail runner, nature lover and plant-based wannabe, Charlotte is a fun person to be around with and once you get to know her, on and off the trail, you would see how much full of joy she is.

More about Charlotte – The most memorable race

It would be the 100kms Gobi Desert in Mongolia, where I finished first woman and third overall. The 3-day Ultra Marathon organized by Action Asia Events was indeed quite a challenge and a very different experience. I personally loved the second day the most because we had to play into different landscapes including sand dunes, mountains, grasslands etc. It was amazing to discover and enjoy such beautiful nature. The third day course was a bit easier as quite short and flat, but it was definitely the last mental challenge.

I enjoy Salomon’s equipment, especially the S/LAB collection, which has made my running more efficient and enjoyable given its comfort and lightness. I am in particular addicted to the S/LAB SENSE running shoes.
