Baptiste Chassagne

BEFORE, I RAN FOR THEM, NOW I RUN WITH THEM

BIOGRAPHY

My name is Baptiste and I am an aspiring ultra-trail runner, in the sense that I have already completed a few ultra events, but I still have many kilometers to cover, a multitude of peaks to discover and a mountain of things to learn. My first trail experience was at the SaintéLyon, my favorite race. It was there that I discovered the sport, its community, its spirit, and the values that make it special. Combloux, at the foot of Mont Blanc, is my favorite training ground, my happy place, the land of my passion.

What's your biggest dream?

My ultimate dream is to become a champion - legitimate by his results and inspiring through his approach and actions

What's your greatest source of motivation in difficult times?

My family who supports me in my project since km zero with energy and without pressure. Remembering that nobody forced me to be here. Reminding myself that it's a privilege to have these kinds of good "hard times", because I can put an end to them whenever I want. To be resilient, because even if the result doesn't necessarily make me happy, going all the way will make me proud.

What are your favorite Näak products and why?

My favorite Näak products are the Apple and Maple Syrup Puree for its delicious taste, the Peanut Butter and Chocolate Bar for its satisfying energy intake, and the nut butter for its versatility, whether eaten with a spoon or spread on a slice of country bread. Through my collaboration with Näak, I aim to share these choices, emphasizing products that combine taste and nutritional benefits, support athletic performance, while promoting values of teamwork, perseverance, audacity, and sharing within my community.
