The HOKA UTMB Mont-Blanc is the most incredible trail running event! Each year, the best athletes meet in Chamonix and more than 10'000 runners participate in one of the event's 8 races, including the UTMB World Series Finals.

ONE OF THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS RACES IN THE WORLD

The Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB) is one of the world’s best known endurance running events, taking place each August.

It is the centrepiece of a week-long event named after it, the UTMB World Series Finals. Based in Chamonix, France, it sees almost 10,000 runners compete in seven different races.

A brutal 170km route, the UTMB itself features more than 10km of ascent.


The start line in the center of Courmayeur overflows with an atmosphere that only Italians know how to create. After the first kilometers, you will quickly climb to 2500m of altitude to enjoy an exceptional landscape, facing the Mont-Blanc and the Grandes Jorasses. The path to the Grand col Ferret invites you to cross into Switzerland, where you will enjoy the incomparable welcome of the volunteers of La Fouly, Champex and Trient. Once across the border in France, discover the authenticity of Vallorcine, before climbing up to Vallons des Chezerys, a true corner of paradise with a magnificent view over the Mont-Blanc chain. It is then time to push through and receive a hero's welcome across the finish line in the heart of Chamonix.

NOTE #1

Due to construction and the outage of the Nelson St. pedestrian bridge the half marathon course will be rerouted from Howie Drive, right on Van Horne St, left accross the Bridge of Nations and remaining on the Paris St. sidewalk until reconnecting with the original course at the 17k marker approaching Science North. Total distance will be very close or the same as 2023.

What is a backyard ultra?

In a backyard ultra, runners complete a 6.7 kilometre loop every hour. Why such an odd number? It is the pace equivalent of running a 100 miles in 24 hours. The format is simple yet demanding: runners have one hour to finish the loop, and any time left over can be used to rest, refuel, and prepare for the next lap. This cycle repeats until only one runner remains, having completed one more loop than the second-to-last competitor.

But there’s more to it than being the last bb standing. This format allows you to truly challenge yourself to go further than you’ve ever gone before, whether that’s 13.4km, 100km, or more ??

Join us on October 5-6 at Kivi Park and challenge yourself to go one more lap.
