Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB) CCC – Karan Taneja

Race Date: Aug-Sep   Results: 2018

​An Extraordinary Adventure in the Heart of Mont-Blanc Country

The UTMB is a trail-running event full of superlatives! An essential event for trail-runners from all over the world. Each year, the elite of the trail-running world find themselves in Chamonix alongside almost 10 000 runners keen to participate in one of the event's 7 races.

​Committing oneself, to running around Mont-Blanc, is above all to experience an internal adventure, an unique experience where each participant will have to draw from their strengths and push their mental and physical limits in order to cross the finishing line. This extraordinary trip at the heart of the massif will permit trail-runners to cross valleys and passes in contact with the most beautiful summits, in an alpine décor which is unique in the world.

The UTMB is 7 Events in One:

Finisher : 25h37m15s
General ranking : 1393
Category ranking SE H : 516

​The Courmayeur-Champex-Chamonix (CCC) route is around 101 km in length for about 6100 metres of height gain, starts from Courmayeur, in semi-autonomy and in  26hrs 30 mins max. The start is organised in three waves to help the fluidity of the race. Start zones calculated according to the ITRA's performance index's criteria . Around 1900 runners.
A race deep into wilderness using for the most the international path “Grande Randonnée du Tour du Mont-Blanc (GR TMB)”.
Mountain race, with numerous passages in high altitude (>2500m), in difficult weather conditions (night, wind, cold, rain or snow), that needs a very good training, adapted equipment and a real capacity of personal autonomy.
The first kilometres, on an original route, different from the UTMB®, quickly lead to 2500m of altitude to one of the most exceptional panoramas one can imagine, facing the Mont-Blanc and the Grandes Jorasses. The passage of the Grand col Ferret (2537m) marks the entrance of the race in Switzerland, where the competitors will be warmly welcomed by the volunteers of La Fouly, Champex and Trient. Already in France but so close to Switzerland, anyone can enjoy the authenticity of Vallorcine, before discovering after an incredible ascension the Vallons des Chezerys, a true corner of paradise with a magnificent view on the Mont-Blanc chain. It is then time to finally reach the arrival arch in the heart of Chamonix. ​
