• A gateway to many other legendary events. Running stones are yours 😏;

• A perfectly calibrated organization with a professional atmosphere, well-placed refreshment points and an ultra-welcoming starting village. You only have one thing to manage: running.

Course focus:

Welcome to a legendary part of the GR65, aka the Way of Saint-Jacques de Compostelle. Going back up the trail in the opposite direction, the races take you through wild landscapes, in settings that command respect. From majestic mountains to villages steeped in history, the road is magnificent. The arrival? It is beautiful, in front of the legendary cathedral of Puy-en-Velay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Between the effort and the emotion, prepare yourself for thrills. The event is nicknamed the "spiritrail", and you will quickly understand why when you run on these sacred lands.

3 good reasons to go:

• No need to go to Chamonix to experience the UTMB myth. This trail immerses you in an intense adventure, on terrain that is as demanding as it is sublime;

• Each stride takes you to places steeped in history and marked by generations of pilgrims;

• Win running stones: for UTMB World Series fans, this is the opportunity to pick up points and get closer to your dream of Mont Blanc.
