Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc: The greatest running show on earth
UTMB week is one of the biggest, most formidable, awe-inspiring and hotly-anticipated events in the trail running calendar. But whether you’re a runner or not, it’s also one of the most astonishing events to enjoy in the Chamonix valley. From spectating high up in the mountains to participating in the week-long party in the valley, I’m sharing why this event was one of the highlights of our trip to the French Alps and will be for you.
Why I run when I travel
I don’t run to get faster, burn calories, for kudos or to meet goals. I run because I explore, and exploring is more than just visiting a place. It’s about throwing yourself in head-first, finding out what makes somewhere tick. Changing the way you see a place changes how you see a place.
