Running from one side to the other of the Cape Verde islands while collecting more than a ton of waste in 15 days\u2026it takes a lot of energy to achieve such a challenge. And energy<\/em> is exactly what defines professional trail runner Thibaud Baronian. An avid sportsman, committed, passionate (and a great guy!) – meet the famous instigator of the Trail & Sea adventure, who gives us a glimpse of what drives him in life and in all the actions he leads in favour of the environment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A threefold project: sport, solidarity,<\/strong> environment<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the end of 2021, with the Trail & Sea project<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, Thibaud Baronian decided to take on the beaches and summits of Cape Verde alongside a team of 10 committed people. 8 islands, 8 summits, 400 km, 18,000 metres climbed, this adventure was designed as a real sporting challenge<\/strong>. But it was also way more than that. This project was above all about an environmental and human adventure<\/strong>, carried out in collaboration with local environmental protection organisations.<\/p>\n

The runner set out with a clear objective: to raise awareness among the general public and the local population about the impact of the plastic pollution<\/strong> that is devastating the beaches of Cape Verde.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Cape Verde and its population: Thibaud\u2019s favorite<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thibaud and Cape Verde?\u00a0 It’s a sort of love story<\/strong>: “My first trip to Cape Verde took place in April 2018. I fell in love with this country, its inhabitants, its “sodade<\/em>[1]<\/strong><\/em><\/span>“…After that, I was determined to go back and to do something out of the ordinary, shared with the locals<\/em>.” For this professional trail runner, member of the Salomon International team, this something<\/em> necessarily had to involve a lot of sweat and kilometres!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sport and nature, the ingredients for a happy life<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Cradled by sport<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

Thibaud is 33 years old. Since he was a child, sport has been his life<\/strong>, he tells us: “I come from a sporty and dynamic family. I’ve been immersed in sport since I was very young: football, table tennis, then high-level cross-country skiing and, finally, trail running<\/em>.\u201d An eclectic and distinguished sportsman, certainly, but who also worked as a physiotherapist for 5 years before dedicating himself entirely to his professional athletic career since 2018.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nurtured by nature<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

Beyond sport, his family has also played a major role in shaping his respect for nature and animals<\/strong>: “I\u2019ve always lived in the countryside and my parents made me aware of the importance of nature. My father is a great fan of vegetable gardening. We\u2019ve always had home-grown food in our house, almost all year round.\u00a0 Being close to the earth makes us connect with it and instinctively protect it<\/em>. \u201c<\/p>\n

Thibaud is fascinated by the wild and its animals<\/strong>, a field in which he can imagine launching himself for a third professional life (yes, we told you: LOTS of energy<\/em>!).<\/p>\n

Thibaud explores and reinforces this special connection to nature<\/strong> through his job as a trailer, which reminds him every day how precious it is.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Thibaut<\/p>\n

Human relations, the salt of life!<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sport and nature… the Trail & Sea adventure appeared to be an obvious choice for Thibaud. This is not to say that it has been easy on his body!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Running, collecting waste, running, cleaning beaches, running, filling bags… The expedition included a lot of stretching beyond the limits<\/strong>. During the day…and at night, too: “There were a lot of emotions and discoveries when sailing on the boat from island to island, in the middle of the Atlantic! Sleeping in a bed that bumps on both sides was a memorable moment of the journey for the whole team. The nights were hectic and not very restful<\/em>,” recalls Thibaud.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But there was always the pleasure of shared adventure and human encounters<\/strong> round the corner to pump up the energy levels: “The welcome of the Cape Verdeans children in the schools we visited to raise awareness was just incredible. It was really heart-melting to see so many smiles and joy in their eyes.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And indeed, when asked about his main purpose in life, Thibaud answers, quite simply: “To be and to make people happy with as much simplicity and sobriety as possible<\/em>“. \ud83d\udc9a<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This article will therefore go without any conclusion… All has been said, right?!<\/p>\n
