Rendez-vous
next year!

This year once again we have had to turn down an impressionable number of hopeful participants for the UTMB® and the CCC® The 1600 people concerned will, in 2012, benefit from priority registration. They will just have to think about their points (see below)

Apart from the limit fixed by the administrators, it is necessary to avoid, congestion and "queues" along the paths, overcrowded refreshment points while guaranteeing race quality, with maximum security and pleasure.

Count your points

How many points are needed to participate in one of the 2012 events? 

• UTMB® : 5 points acquired in 2010 &/or 2011 (in a maximum of 2 races).
• CCC®: 1 point acquired in 2010 or 2011.
• TDS : 2 points acquired in 2010 and/or 2011
• The UTMB®, the CCC® and the TDS 2009 also provide points, respectively 4, 3 & 3.

Equipment control

This year, we are returning to a system of controlling the obligatory equipment. You must, therefore, present the pack with which you are going to run and the totality of your obligatory equipment at the distribution of race-bibs.

There rest race-bibs, but you need to move

Information for the ardent supporters, there are still solidarity race-bibs! Besides making donations to associations there is also the last chance to join one of the 2011 Ultra-Trail of Mont-Blanc® races.

In exchange for a 2000€ donation to one of the associations which we support, we normally allow the donor to join the race of their choice, do not hesitate to pass this information on!

it is not reserved for the "well-to-do". Several runners have already obtained their race-bib by soliciting their employers for example, it makes them a little publicity and it is partially tax deductible, think about it!

Important remark: we touch no part of this money, which is paid directly to the relevant associations. The objective is purely to show solidarity.
