Martigny-Combe - In recent years, the growing excitement around the race has made bibs increasingly difficult to secure for the residents of the 21 organizing municipalities of the HOKA UTMB Mont-Blanc β those who are at the heart of the event every year.
To address this situation and honor their commitment, we decided to grant them a hour priority registration window for the edition. During the second registration window at 3 PM today, the remaining bibs were snapped up in record time.
Thank you for your exceptional enthusiasm and your understanding of these changes, designed to strengthen the bond between this unique event and the communities that make it possible. Together, we continue to uphold the trail spirit! An adventure from Switzerland to France on a 40km course with m of elevation gain. This race aims to bring teams together and share the passion of trail running.
It takes place entirely during the day and allows volunteers and partners the UTMB experience while still being able to honor their commitment to their team the rest of the week.
On a more accessible distance, it gives runners a feel for the ambiance of at the height of the world's trail running scene, with same quality standards as the other UTMB races. From the start line in Martigny-Combe, you will climb to the Col de la Forclaz before pushing yourself to reach the emblematic Col de Balme.
