At the heart of the initiative is a women-only trail running camp, designed to foster community, encourage participation and create unforgettable experiences in one of the most beautiful destinations on the UTMB World Series calendar.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To learn more about the vision behind Run Like Her, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/trailrunadvisor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TrailRunAdvisor<\/a> spoke with Carole, Marketing Executive<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">of Ka\u00e7kar by UTMB and an experienced ultra runner herself, about the inspiration for the project, the importance of supporting women in trail running, and what participants can expect from both the camp and the race experience.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9ddb33f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9ddb33f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Q1.
