About the race

Claim this race

 

First run in 2003, many now consider the UTMB to be the world’s most famous trail race. Encircling Mont Blanc, the race starts and finishes in Chamonix, a town long-considered to be the home of alpinism. It passes through Courmayeur, Italy, Champex, Switzerland, and includes several high passes around the Mont Blanc massif. Today, the UTMB series includes a variety of other races which take place during the last week of August. Entry is by lottery, and each race requires a specific number of UTMB points, which are allocated based on the difficulty of designated qualifying races.
