About
Joey Hadorn is a Swiss trail runner and orienteering world champion born on April 11, 1997, in Bern, who carries one of the most extraordinary dual-sport careers in mountain running — simultaneously competing at world-championship level in both orienteering and trail running. At the 2016 Junior World Orienteering Championships he won three gold medals (long distance, sprint, relay) and a silver (middle distance), became Swiss national champion in the middle distance in 2018, and won silver in the middle distance and relay gold at the 2023 World Orienteering Championships in Switzerland. His transition to trail running parallels that of Frédéric Tranchand — both elite orienteers who brought precision, route-reading, and elite aerobic capacity to mountain terrain — and he has already broken into the top 10 of the Golden Trail World Series. A Salomon athlete and ambassador for the Ascona-Locarno region since 2024, with a personal website at joeyhadorn.ch, Hadorn represents an entirely new kind of mountain runner: one capable of competing at world-championship level in two cognitively and physically demanding disciplines at once.
