Description

The Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc: A Revolution in Running In 2003, a small group of runners proposed an audacious idea: to host a 100-mile ultra-marathon around Mont Blanc, traversing Italy, France, and Switzerland. The response was overwhelming, with over 700 runners signing up. This remarkable event, known as the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB), has since become one of the world's premier sporting events, pushing human endurance to its limits. Through exclusive access to the UTMB archives and interviews with over 100 individuals, including race organizers, winners, experts, and enthusiasts, author Doug Mayer presents a comprehensive and unbiased account of the UTMB's history, present, and future. The result is a book rich in photographs, maps, and infographics, offering a unique perspective on the world of trail running.
