Ultra-trail Côte d'Azur Mercantour

Between the Mediterranean and the peaks of the Mercantour, there exists a playground that never has to choose between beauty and toughness. UTCAM is an adventure where every kilometre reminds you why you love running in the mountains. Whether you come to discover trail running or to tackle a 120 km ultra, get ready to experience far more than just a race.

What you'll find on site:

• 7 race formats, from the 5 km vertical kilometre to the 120 km ultra-trail, with solo, duo, relay events and even a race with a secret route;
• Routes connecting sea and mountain, at the heart of the Mercantour's iconic panoramas;
• An event built around strong values: respect for the environment, solidarity and the involvement of local municipalities and associations.

Course focus:

Here, the Azurean mountains are no mere backdrop. They take centre stage. The trails take you on a full-scale immersion where long ascents are met with panoramas that make you want to stop... before you remember there are still a few kilometres left to go.

Whatever format you choose, UTCAM bets on one thing: giving you a real journey. Routes designed to reveal the richness of the Mercantour, with that rare blend of demanding terrain, wide open spaces and the feeling of being far from everything. Special mention to the Mysterious Race, whose route remains secret until the eve of the event. Because a little mystery is also part of the adventure.

3 (very) good reasons to take part:

• Discover an exceptional playground where the mountains meet the Mediterranean;
• Find the challenge that suits you among formats accessible to beginners and seasoned trail runners alike;
• Take part in an event that puts as much energy into the runners' experience as into respecting its territory.
