UTMB CELEBRATES ITS 20TH ANNIVERSARY
Inaugurated in the summer of 2003, the competition is now the world's most emblematic and prestigious trail race.
With a distance of 171 km and an altitude difference of 10,000 meters around Mont-Blanc, this is a real experience where each participant will have to draw on their last reserves of strength and push back their limits to cross the finish line.
