UTMB (Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc)

UTMB (ULTRA TRAIL DU MONT BLANC)

THE BENCHMARK IN THE WORLD OF TRAIL RUNNING

Created in 2003, the UTMB is the most legendary and prestigious trail running race in the world. 171km and 10,000 metres of ascent to circumnavigate Mont Blanc, crossing Italy, Switzerland and France. A unique race that has transcended the practice of trail running and established itself as an iconic, world-renowned event.

Whatever the finishing time, from under 20 hours to over 46 hours, elite runners and thousands of amateurs alike share the same adventure on the same exceptional courses, carried along by the stunning beauty of the scenery and a common goal: crossing the finishing arch in Chamonix.  

More than 2,300 athletes will set off from Chamonix, then head to the Chapieux site by night, in a sumptuous setting on the way to the Aiguille des Glaciers (3,816m) and the Col de la Seigne (2,516m).  

The first competitors will arrive at Les Chapieux at around 10.30pm and will stay until 5am on Saturday 31 August.
