In 9 days' time on Friday, August 30, thousands of the world’s most ambitious trail runners will lace up their best trail running shoes and set off from Chamonix on a punishing race around Mont Blanc.
Last year, Jim Walmsley made history at the UTMB when he won the race in just 19:37:42, shaving 12 minutes off Killian Jornet's 2022 record. Will this year bring a repeat success for Walmsley, or will his thunder be stolen? Over in the women's race, who will fill the void left by Courtney Dauwalter, especially now we know that Katharina Hartmuth isn't starting?
