Most of us hadn't even heard of ultra runner Vincent Bouillard when we woke up this morning, but when he crossed the finish line an hour ago at the 2024 UTMB, he made sure we wouldn't forget him in a hurry.
No one would have predicted this win from the little-known French runner at sunrise this morning never mind before the race started. After all, the list of podium hopefuls included marquee names from the trail running world, like Jim Walmsley, Tom Evans and Germaine Grangier. All three of those runners held fast at the front of the race going into the night, but this morning all had dropped out, leaving the perfect opportunity for Bouillard to make a name for himself at trail running's most iconic race.
