In the heart of the Alps, the prestigious UTMB World Series Finals are held in 3 categories: the OCC (50K), CCC® (100K) and UTMB® (100M) every year at the end of August in Chamonix, France.

Four UTMB World Series Majors, are held each year across the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Oceania regions.

WASTE MANAGEMENT AND AID STATIONS

Runners, crews, volunteers, and staff - we urge everyone to embrace environmental responsibility.

Our “0 plastic” policy:

According to our BYOU policy, no disposable utensils are distributed during the event. Runners are required to bring their own eating utensils (in addition to the cup included in the mandatory equipment), especially if they intend to consume hot food.

Our aid stations adhere to a “0 disposable plastic bottles” policy. We prioritize the conservation of water resources and produce our own cola and sparkling water. This effort will result in substantial savings for the 2024 edition:

3,360 bottles of still water

2,280 bottles of cola

2,418 bottles of sparkling water This practice also reduces transportation needs.

Waste management:

Runners are provided small garbage bags at race kit pick-up. These are intended for waste such as gel or food wrappers. We request that all participants carry their waste, including fruit peels, between aid stations. Each aid station is equipped with designated trash cans for waste separation. The final trash can is located approximately 100 meters past the aid station (clearly marked).

We encourage runners to use rechargeable batteries whenever possible. If not, please hold onto used batteries until they can be disposed of properly in designated containers provided at aid stations or at the finish line.

SOLIDARITY

The UTMB Wolrd Series and Trail Alsace Grand Est by UTMB are more than just trail running races: the organization aims to merge sports and solidarity, creating an atmosphere where athletic achievement goes hand in hand with support for others. In the heart of the Vosges mountains, we are driven by the desire to help everyone achieve their own victories.

In addition to charity bibs, the UTMB CARES endowment fund supports these associations. At the time of registration, each runner has the option to make a donation.

For 2025, the following projects have been selected:

L’association des Chateaux Forts d’Alsace ELA Club Vosgien

For your information: The donation you make will be evenly distributed between these three associations.

ULTRA-TRAIL DES CHEVALIERS EN RÉGION GRAND EST

This 100M run is a legendary route that takes you through more than 15 castles and a unique heritage through the Vosges mountains. An epic challenge that will allow you to cross the 2 Alsatian regions and walk along preserved trails with stunning views, steeped in history and legend.

THE RACE

The start is in Turckheim at 19:00, sending runners towards the Vosges mountains and their chateaux, with the first landmark being the Wineck Castle.

The opening section takes you through the picturesque town of Kaysersberg, before you continue your journey among the region’s castles and reach the Finkenhoehe — the highest point on the course.

From here you merge with the 100K route, crossing into the Bas-Rhin department just before entering the historic grounds of the Château du Haut-Koenigsbourg, before pressing on to the life base at Châtenois, around 13km further along the course.

At the three-quarter mark you arrive in Barr, a charming town that also hosts the start of the 50K and 20K events, before tackling the ascent to Mont Sainte-Odile. With just 20km remaining you will face one final test: the climb up to Heïdenkopf, before the exhilarating descent to Obernai and the finish line.
