A MYTHICAL RACE, A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE
From August 27th through September 2nd, the top ultrarunners across the globe rendezvous to Chamonix, France for a week of racing through the Alps. Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB) is an annual celebration of the ultrarunning community. With breathtaking views across three countries and brilliant runners from dozens more, it’s no wonder why thousands flock to Chamonix during the last week of August each year. The event’s premier self-named race, UTMB, is a 171km race (106 miles) around Mont Blanc with over 10,000 meters of elevation gain (…and that’s just one of the seven mind-boggling races in the entire week.)
GU CREW TAKES OVER UTMB
The GU Crew usually sends a stacked roster of Team ROCTANE and Salty’s Squad members to Chamonix, and this year is no different. A half dozen of our top ultrarunners have made the trek to test their bodies through some of the toughest terrain and competition in the world.
