UTMA - Ultra trail des monts d'arrée

Here, there's no asphalt, but miles of rocky ridges, endless moors, and weather that can remind you how alive you are. There's only one rule: keep up your Breton spirit on terrain that will never let you breathe. But don't worry, this challenge is also an immersion in a magnificent setting, where every stride is a story to tell.

What you'll find there:

• Formats for all appetites: discovery, short, and long!

• A friendly atmosphere: from start to finish, the solidarity between trail runners is as strong as the granite of the Monts d'Arrée.

• 4 refreshment zones on the 65 km course, 3 refreshment zones on the 40 km course, and 1 refreshment zone on the 20 km course. Outside of these areas, refreshments are only allowed within a 100-meter radius before and after, clearly marked by opening and closing signs.

• A 100% authentic atmosphere: friendly volunteers and close-knit trail runners, because that's what Brittany is all about.

Course focus:

It starts off gently... or not! From the first few kilometers, the Monts d'Arrée roll out a carpet (of stones) that will test you straight away. Head for Roc'h Trévézel, the highest point in the region, where you'll team up with the wind to move forward. Downhill? Yes, but to better climb back up to the ridges. And then there's the legendary peat bog crossing, because running in the dry is too easy. Your best ally: your ankles. Spoiler: they'll be put to the test. 🏞️

And that view… Breathtaking, in every sense of the word. Golden moorland, dense forests, and, in the distance, the ocean. In short, a condensed version of Brittany in the heart of nature.

Why you MUST be there:

• The thrill of real trail running: no bling, just pure nature challenge and terrain that shapes you.

• A unique playground: ridges, peat bogs, valleys... a diversity of landscapes that makes you forget the kilometers.

• An atmosphere that smells of Brittany: warm volunteers, a close-knit community of runners, and salty air to boot.

• An unforgettable memory: whether you're team "I'm drooling but I'm smiling" or team "I'm finishing for the fun of it", you'll leave with an unforgettable experience.

Check this date, prepare your camelbak, and above all, don't delay in registering. In the meantime, we'll let you visualize your triumphant arrival with the encouragement of the Bretons... and a well-deserved glass of cider.
