Key highlights

Two-time French Long Trail Champion (2017 & 2019)

Two national titles on the long-trail format, cementing her place among France’s best.

Winner — L’Échappée Belle (Intégrale 2022)

She won the 149km “Intégrale” in 27:26:37 — a defining ultra-trail performance.

Away from racing, Sarah keeps life simple and grounded. A physics-chemistry teacher with an engineering background, she likes to understand, structure, then let the mountains do the talking. Based near Gérardmer, she trains through the seasons, with a taste for committed sessions and tough conditions. Her style is quiet efficiency: keep moving forward, keep learning, and stay true to what made her fall in love with trail running.
