UTMB presented by Columbia Sportswear

From 27 August to 2 September will be held the most famous and epic trail running event in the world: UTMB 2018. For Columbia, UTMB is an important event that brings together the largest global community of Outdoor and the different mountain cultures and of trail running. Columbia, as a presenting partner, collaborates with the organization, volunteers, partners and athletes, connecting people with their passions. It does this by developing innovative technologies, which are tested under the most extreme conditions. At the UTMB 2018 there will be over 8,000 runners representing 101 different countries and also in this year edition there will be events reserved for the youngest: Mini UTMB for children and the #YCC for the next generation of trail runners.

The Trail Running World Summit includes 7 races: two individual trail running, a path for the young trail runners, a group ultra trail race and three ultra trail races that will take place around the Mont Blanc setting across France, Italy and Switzerland ending then in Chamonix. Since its first edition in 2003, the UTMB has always followed its fundamental values: the attachment to the territory of Mont Blanc and its inhabitants, human values, respect for the environment and sport ethics, values shared with Columbia. This is what makes UTMB so unique.
