UTMB

The Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc is one of the most prestigious trail races in the world. Every year in Chamonix, the elite of the sport gather for an extraordinary week. The event brings together eight races, including the famous UTMB with its 180 km and 10,000 m of elevation gain.

This selection brings together images from several races, including the PTL with its nearly 300 km and 25,000 m of elevation gain. Covering such an event meant more than 100 km on foot over the week, with the equipment on my back, plus kilometres by bike and public transport to reduce the impact of the coverage.
