Recently ODLO has hosted a series of STRAVA challenges to give everyday athletes extra motivation to get moving.
Well, starting 5 April 2021, the young tradition continues with the ODLO Ultra Chill 50KM – a celebration of spring, our new seasonal Chill-tec collection and our growing STRAVA community – now at more than 20,000 members worldwide.
Here’s how it works:
· Run and STRAVA 50KM in 3 weeks.
· Earn awesomeness.
· There, challenge done.
While the fine print is more complex, the challenge really is that simple. Upon completion, all challenge finishers will earn a badge for their STRAVA trophy case, and with their registration, a discount code for 20 percent off ODLO apparel, redeemable on our site, selected ODLO stores and at participating retail partners (see challenge terms and conditions for more).
From there, we’ll be drawing at random from the finishers for two nights’ accommodation and two entry bibs to run one of the world’s most scenic trail running events – the ODLO High Trail Vanoise. Boom.
We’ve included loads more details on our STRAVA community - a community for runners, cyclists, swimmers, hikers, skiers and everyday athletes to track workouts and share stories. To learn more about how STRAVA works, click here.
The ODLO Ultra Chill 50KM challenge will run from 5 April 2021 to 25 April 2021. Run slow. Run fast. Run in the hills. Run indoors. Run on city streets. The point is just to run.
We hope you enjoy it and look forward to seeing you on STRAVA – or better still, on the trails at the ODLO High Trail Vanoise. Happy running, everyone.

For the purposes of writing recommendations like this one, we test tees while running (naturally) or in the gym doing stretching and strength work. So far this season, I have about 400km in the legs and two target trail events fast approaching: the Jura Swiss Trail and UTMB Verbier. So what’s the verdict?
