I belong here – I can fly here
Julia Bleasdale does not need wings to fly. When she runs through the picturesque Val Poschiavo, up to the Diavolezza or along the mirror-like Lake Sils, she feels as if she is running on clouds, as free and light as a bird. Even the 65 kilometres of the Bernina Tour around the Bernina massif are a run of pure joy for all the senses.
Home is where the heart is
Hiking soon became running, and launching her career as a professional track runner seemed the logical next step. A good choice, as Julia’s track record shows: at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, she competed over distances of 5,000 and 10,000 metres and came eighth each time. An unforgettable experience – but in her heart she knew that track running held no deeper meaning for her, and no real goal. All her senses were calling her back to nature and on to the trails: to the Engadin!
