Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

When it comes to UTMB. I am an just an enthusiastic armchair spectator (though I have run a couple of the sections).

The usual excellent in-depth look at the men's and women's favourites from irunfar (with perhaps a slight US bias)

I spoke to Macca at Lakeland and he was on the fence about doing it. I’m gutted not to be going but I think waiting a year is the sensible option

NDWDave I deferred too for the CCC. I want a proper UTMB experience and was not sure I'd get it this year and would have been wary of any sudden changes in travel rules too. I'm having a week.at home with the GL3D as a substitute experience.

Deferred CCC for pretty much same reasons plus finding any consistent elevation has been more problematic the last 18 months for some reason😀As the peninsula I call home is pancake. Plus I'm carrying a knock so turned out ok. Nice folks at easyJet cancelled flights which meant didn't lose out there either. Win-win!

I’m almost ready to fly out next week for the UTMB. I was only offered a late place as so many had deferred so I figured it might be a while before I get the chance again. I was in two minds about it but the excitement/fear has definitely taken over now.

Some of the changes like the wave starts (how did I get in the 1st wave🤣) and food handed out by volunteers appeal to me but I accept the buzz around town might be a bit more subdued. The mountains will be just as steep I expect.

Presumably based on your ITRA index of 613 (DDD - Strong). Mine is 543 (D - Strong)

Kilian is 939 AAAA

I think UTMB now have their own ranking system presumably based on accredited races but it gives a similar result, 615, leading to a bib no of 612, placing in 1st wave of nos 1-900.
