The UTMB is a serious challenge – at 105-miles, with a route that ascends to 34,000ft, and traverses three different countries. But just getting through the qualifying races is an epic feat in itself
When you tell other ultra runners that you are training for the Ultra-Trail du Mont- Blanc (UTMB),they give you a certain look. Oh, you are a serious ultra runner. You can almost feel your trail cred rising.
Not because the UTMB is the toughest race, or the longest, or in the most extreme conditions – although it is fairly extreme, being a 105-mile race around Mont Blanc that traverses a route with a total ascent of 34,000ft (10,300m) and passes through three different countries.
