Follow us as we chase legends at UTMB 2023! An amazing and inspiring experience seeing such a broad range of ultra runners taking on the challenge of circumnavigating Mont Blanc, whilst travelling through three countries! This 171km epic was the reason we travelled to Europe - we needed to see what it was all about!
Our time in Chamonix was extremely rewarding, running many of the trails and seeing pieces of all races as the week progressed. From the first finishers to the last, all were an inspiration.
We’ll be back, next time with a bib… 😊
Chamonix, France. What a place!
