The 2024 UTMB final kicked off five and a half hours ago in Chamonix and the big story so far is an absolutely stunning performance from Katie Schide.
The US runner joined the pack of male runners at the front of the race pretty much right out of the starting gates and at just over 50 km into the 176 km course she looks to be stuck to them like glue. We watched as she came through the second checkpoint at Saint Gervais only a minute or two behind last year's winner Jim Walmsley, and a couple of checkpoints later at Notre Dame de la Gorge she remained towards the front and looked a lot like she was enjoying herself.
