Wind of change at the 2013 edition of The North Face Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc
Two days earlier, Catalonia was able to celebrate the victory of Jordi Bes on the CCC® and the Savoy Region Carolina Chaverot. Again, two unexpected winners of the competition, who signed here the most significant result of their careers. 1320 runners have entered the finisher's community after 100km and 5950m D +, nearly 70% of them all. A telling statistic certainly helped by the mild weather, which probably also means that the preparation of trailers "amateurs" perfected over the years.
For the TDS®, nearly 68% of the 1526 starters finished the race. The former world champion of raid multisport Arnaud Julia Bonmati will be the fastest of them, giving himself a new perspective on his very long distance trail career. Nathalie Mauclair did the same on the girl's side, confirming an outstanding season in 2013.
The UTMB® also confirmed the status of "Summit Racing Nature" on a worldwide level. In fact, the Ultra Trail World Tour® announced creating a global circuit for Ultra Running, gathering trails covering at least 100km on all continents with a dozen dates. Today the North Face® Ultra Trail du Mont-Blanc® takes its place amongt seven other iconic and popular events.
Emotion, sharing and solidarity have once again thrilled all men and women from all around the world around the mont Blanc. During one week everyone is a winner: finishers, volunteers, elite partners... See you in 2014, August 25th to 31th for the 12th edition.
