EP 1 : THE 2019 UTMB® COURSE : INSIDERS TIPS BY ELITE TRAIL

From August 26th to September 1st, 2019, Experience an extraordinary adventure in the heart of the mont-blanc country. The UTMB® is a trail-running event full of superlatives! An essential event for trail-runners from all over the world. Each year, the elite of the trail-running world find themselves in Chamonix alongside almost 10 000 runners keen to participate in one of the event's 7 races.

Committing oneself, to running around Mont-Blanc, is above all to experience an internal adventure, an unique experience where each participant will have to draw from their strengths and push their mental and physical limits in order to cross the finishing line. This extraordinary trip at the heart of the massif will permit trail-runners to cross valleys and passes in contact with the most beautiful summits, in an alpine décor which is unique in the world.

As an official partner of the UTMB, we wanted to bring you something more. So we contacted some of our team's elite athletes, whose podiums on the world's greatest Trail Running races are overwhelming, and asked them to share their experience of the UTMB®. This is their story.
