UTMB 2017 - Drool Worthy

9/2/2017

Comments

 
​This year's UTMB has been a rather exciting event to watch. The startline of the UTMB was stacked with most of the greats, with a few notable absences. Coverage was solid this year with live video feeds of the start line and multiple aid stations on the official website, the race's official twitter and instagram, and constantly updated iRunFar coverage. The most exciting piece of media we got from the event is Journet's FB Live video covering the last few minutes on the start line before they were sent off.  Chills. If only he had carried on filming as they started. That would have left me drooling.

Check out the results for the other races in the UTMB series, CCC, OCC, TDS, the ridiculously cool PTL, the YCC, and the YRun. These event's receive the level of attention that the UTMB does, but take a look over the course previews and you'll realize that these are equally exciting. These are all found on UTMB's homepage.

I look forward to hearing some tantalizing tales of the race in iRunFar's post-race interviews and recaps. 

Happy Trails!
