UTMB CARES

Built on the values of solidarity, respect, inclusion, authenticity, and humility, UTMB Cares leverages the global platform of the UTMB World Series to inspire positive change.

UTMB Cares is committed to strengthening solidarity by addressing a range of issues: combating discrimination, promoting gender equality, assisting vulnerable populations, enhancing participation of individuals with disabilities, and supporting scientific and technological innovation. We also act for the preservation of our planet by engaging in actions to protect the environment and promote sustainable development.

• Over €1 million donated since 2023
• Approximately sixty associations supported to date
• More than 80 projects financed or supported, with a growing long-term commitment
• A network of local, associative, and institutional partners mobilized to amplify our actions

Some races in the UTMB World Series offer charity bibs, with sales being the primary means of funding our actions today. The funds raised are primarily allocated (75% of the amount) to support local associations, which are selected in partnership with the local organizer for the benefits they bring to the territory. By choosing a charity bib, you contribute primarily to the development of an area, the strengthening of community bonds, and the protection of its landscapes.

The remaining 25% constitutes a direct contribution to UTMB Cares and is primarily used to fund the emergency fund or to assist territories that have been unable to raise funds. The number of events offering charity bibs continues to grow, increasing from fewer than 10 in 2023 to more than 15 expected in 2026. UTMB Cares supports organizers in implementing this solidarity approach, helping them reflect on and structure their ethical and responsible commitment.
