Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc – PTL

Description:

Race organized by the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc® (UTMB® – CCC® – TDS® – PTL® – OCC), France-Italy-Switzerland. A hallucinatory and non competitive event! A “grand” tour of Mont Blanc adding high passes, often higher than 2,500 metres and with some delicate passages. If you like solitude, solidarity and total adventure, that is the reason for trying it once. An event without final positions and in complete autonomy, to be realised by teams of 3 (or 2) inseparable runners. The route is different each year, not way marked but simply mapped (GPS waypoints are provided). Around 290km and 26,000 metres of positive height gain – maximum authorized time: around 176 hours – Start from Chamonix Monday August 22th 2016 around 9am. Registration begins December 16th 2015.
