The race that changed running
An unbiased, inside look at 20 years of UTMB
In Chamonix, France, in 2003, a small band of runners came up with an idea : hold a race around Mont Blanc, the Alps' highest peak, covering more than 100 miles through France, Italy and Switzerland. They expected a few crazy souls to join. Instead, more than 700 runners showed up. Running would never be the same.
Based on over a hundred hours of interviews with race founders, elite runners, volunteers, and others in the trail running world, and including photos, maps and graphics from twenty years of racing, The Race that Changed Running is the improbable story of how the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB) became one of the world's great sporting events.
Featuring diverse voices from the trail running community - including those who say UTMB is a victim of its own success - this is a must read for runners everywhere. The Race That Changed Running is the story of how some of the world's best athletes, in the historic home of mountain adventures, brought about a revolution In running that continues to resonate around the globe.
Featuring first-hand accounts from more than a dozen runners, including Courtney Dauwalter, François d'Haene and Kilian Jornet.
