Trail running

Assembling over 5500 runners for a series of four ultra-trail running races, The North Face® Ultra Trail du Mont-Blanc® is the queen of mountain trail runs. The main trail covers 166 km, with 9500 m of elevation gain around the giant of the Alps.

On the agenda: intense heat, thunderstorms, showers, strong winds, thick fog, ice and snow, but also brilliant sunrises and sunsets, starry skies...

Sébastien Chaigneau lived through all that for 20 hours and 55 minutes, until he reached the third step of the podium.
