Trail running around Mont Blanc with the UTMB babes
Guided by Simon Conroy
Our last tour of the season featured the self-appointed “UTMB® Babes,” with Senior Guide Simon - or is it Simone? - leading the charge. The UTMB® race vibe filled the air in Chamonix and Courmayeur. We ran through Switzerland, then finished in Chamonix with cold beers and a memorable farewell dinner
