We know some of you have big dreams and goals. Sometimes those are our races, and sometimes they are bigger international events. We pay to get our races evaluated by the International Trail Running Association (ITRA) so that they can be UTMB qualifiers. For those wanting to race around Mont Blanc, we are happy to […]

We are thrilled to share that, again, many of our 2017 ultra races are qualifiers for 2018 UTMB events. Here are the points for our 2017 races: Smith […]
