A trail racer is born: well done Emily!
Following (literally) in her father's footsteps, Emily Rolfe completed her first ever trail race coming in first in her age group. The "Trail per Cami" event took place on Sunday 4th September in the high country behind Nice, on a 13 km trail, in and around the village of Belv�d�re, and climbing to an elevation of 1,000 meters. Well done Emily, and congratulations to the proud parents, Ben and Sally. This looks to be the beginning of a very promising trail racing career!
