The focus of this inaugural trail running tour with Hanny Allston is exploring the rarely experienced Albanian mountains. During this exploratory wild mission, there will be a very strong focus on education, both on the trails and in the comfort of our accommodation afterwards. Over the week Hanny & Graham will naturally share their knowledge on a wide variety of skills to improve your running ability, trail techniques & general fitness, health and well-being.

I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed being part of Wild Albania 2019! The place was absolutely breathtaking – but more than that I don’t think words can describe what a wonderful, fun, challenging, fulfilling, happy and wholesome experience it was for me. I learnt so much and got so much. I was truly sad when it came to an end. You two have really put together an amazing product. Far more than a product – perhaps better called a bundle, which has real heart-and-soul and which you can both be so proud of….and the scope of which goes way beyond the 01-10 July itinerary in Albania. I can’t imagine how much work goes into co-ordinating and pulling these things together, and the amount of energy you invest throughout as well. It’s just awesome! Thank you so much.
I know that you know everyone joins these trips for different reasons and with different expectations. Whatever mine were, they were far exceeded in so many ways and including ways I didn’t envisage at the outset.
