And just like that.. we are back!

Laces tied, legs fired up, and all those muddy training days building the grit for what’s ahead.

The trail season is officially on, full of early starts, mid-race regrets, epic views, and the kind of finish lines that make it all worth it.

Now it’s about chasing climbs, collecting stories (and blisters), and kicking it all off with MIUT 2025 on Madeira, one of the most beautiful places to begin 🌊⛰️

5 days to go for the magical @eb_belledonne a technical challenge in altitude and beautiful scenery! To complete the last heavy load, Andorra is where I’ve spent my days training last week and what a pleasure it always is.

@eb_belledonne see you soon!

@aranbyutmb video recap! VDA, what a wild ride. Starting at a scorching 33° and with 60km on the tank before nature had the final say. Strong pace up to Canejan, squeezing to the bones on every up and down hill possible, only to receive a humbling reminder our position only really comes second.

🇫🇷 @aranbyutmb Bilan! VDA, sacrée course sauvage. Commençant avec une température torride de 33° et cumulant 60km dans les giboles avant que la nature ait le dernier mot. Un rythme soutenu jusqu’à Canejan, puisant toute l’énergie possible dans chaque monté et descente. Enfin, pour recevoir un rappel d’humilité, nous arriverons toujours en seconde position.

Finish line @utmbmontblanc with 26h15 in. It’s been one heck of a ride!

Arriving last year with the feeling ‘I could have done better’ made me instantly decide I’d be repeating UTMB in 2023, and this time I’d have to leave satisfied with my performance. I have carried all the lessons learnt close to the heart and I’ve kept an extremely focussed mindset. No faffing, no dragging, just finding the flow and never leaving that zone.

As I’ve crossed this finish line again, I couldn’t be any prouder. I’ve left it all in these mountains, I feel I’ve done the best job I could have done today. I’m like a dog with two tails!!!

Thank you to my outstanding support and all UTMB crews behind making this possible.

🇫🇷 Sur la ligne d’arrivée @utmbmontblanc en 26h15. Ça a été une sacrée aventure!

L’année dernière je finis avec le sentiment que “j’aurais pu faire mieux” ça m’a immédiatement fait décider de prendre le départ de l’UTMB en 2023, avec cette fois la satisfaction d’une performance. J’ai retenu toutes les leçons apprises et j’ai gardé un état d’esprit extrêmement concentré. Pas de futilité, il suffit de trouver le flot et de ne jamais quitter cette zone.

Alors que j’ai franchi à nouveau cette ligne d’arrivée, je ne pouvais être plus fier. J’ai tout laissé dans ces montagnes, je sens que j’ai tout donné. Je suis comme un chien à deux queues!!!

Merci à mon soutien exceptionnel et à toutes les équipes de l’UTMB qui ont rendu cela possible.

@utmbmontblanc has been my focus for this season and @umontseny and @trail100andorra have been part of the road and key for my preparation. I see many known faces around, both elite and other strong runners whom I’ve crossed paths with before and I know this year will be fun.

🇫🇷 @utmbmontblanc a été mon objectif cette saison et @umontseny et @trail100andorra ont fait partie du chemin. Ils ont été essentiel dans ma préparation. Je vois de nombreux visages connus à la fois des coureurs d’élites et d’autres coureurs solides avec lesquels j’ai déjà croisé ma route et je sais que cette année sera fun.

🇫🇷 @trail100andorra une course très technique avec une bonne partie en altitude et plusieurs longues ascensions avec plus de 1900 de dénivelé à parcourir.
Mon objectif était de la boucler en 16 heures, cependant j’ai manqué de préparation en altitude. Alors que le
les jambes maintenaient la cadence les poumons peinaient à suivre. Une fois au-dessus de 2500 mètres d’altitude, le rythme a nettement diminué, néanmoins je me suis beaucoup amusé dans les descentes avec des alternances de technicité, de balcons, de plats et de très raides. Mes pieds ont été malmenés mais j’ai tenu bon avec des chevilles solides et un seul ongle en moins.
Les températures élevées impliquaient des tonnes d’eau, des boissons isotoniques, des solutions de réhydratation et du chia. Les rivières le long du chemin ont également permis de rafraîchir le cou et de mouiller ma casquette.
En résumé, une superbe course exigeante avec des paysages incroyables qui vous fait parcourir un pays en une seule journée.

🇺🇸 @trail100andorra a very technical race with some good altitude and several long climbs with more than 1900 of elevation to cover.
My goal was to attempt 16hours for completion, however I have lacked preparation in altitude and while the
legs held up, the lungs struggled to keep up. Once above 2500 meters of altitude the pace has definitely decreased, however I’ve had a lot of fun in the downs with alternations of technicality, balconies, flat and very steep. My feet took a beating but I held on with strong ankles and only one toenail missing.
The high temperatures meant tons of water, isotonic drinks, rehydration solutions and chia. The rivers along the path have also helped to refresh the neck and wet my cap.
In summary, a superb, demanding race with incredible scenery that takes you around a country in one single day.

The elites had come to break @zachmiller38 record of 14h20 in 2022. @jeanphilippetschumi and @ben_dhiman finished first in an impressive 13h36!
@paucapell in 13:49 came 3rd, also beating the record by 30 minutes!
