Adv Club - Tour Du Mont Blanc
As a human-powered fan, you've likely heard of the original UTMB trail running event in Chamonix France. This previously single event has spread it's trail running wings to stretch across the globe with an annual series of events that all tie back to the "World Championships" each August.
The Tour Du Mont Blanc isn't just for the elite trail runners of the world. This iconic trail which covers 100+ miles, gains 30,000+ feet of climbing, and spans 3 different countries (France, Italy, and Switzerland) is a hiker paradise and offers options for all different speeds to experience the massive and expansive mountain range views, the natural wonders of the European high country and some good old fashion.
Long time HPM friend and photographer/videographer was recently able to experience the TMB for himself and it has us all drooling with jealously.
