ABOUT UTMB GROUP une histoire de passionné(e)s
In the early 2000's, the Trail was only the business of a few enthusiasts. The group of 9 friends that we were could not imagine such a growth of the event in October 2002 when we registered the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc® on the international calendars, even if we had powerful ingredients in addition to an enormous desire: to make the tour of the Mont-Blanc starting from Chamonix to cross 3 countries (France-Switzerland-Italy) before arriving in Chamonix without ever looking back! This unique route has become a grail shared by thousands of runners from 102 different nations. Today, if the trail is the discipline par excellence open to all, based on an aspiration to freedom, it is also a breath of fresh air that brings us closer to others, to fundamental human and sporting values...
