Phils UTMB 2024

At 6pm on Friday August 30th 2024 I will be setting off , along with 2500 fellow runners, from Chamonix in the French Alps on a journey of 170km around the Mont Blanc massif - along the way we'll climb 10,000 and pass through three countries (France, Italy and Switzerland). This iconic ultramarathon, the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc, follows the established hiking route of the Tour du Mont Blanc. The winners will likely manage to get back to Chamonix within 20 hours , for the rest of us anything under 46.5 hours gets us a finishers medal!
I've always loved endurance sports and realise how lucky I am to have the opportunity to participate in these fantastic events. Trail running is a fantastic and inclusive sport and Trail Fam provide a unique entry point into trail runnning for young people from all backgrounds - any donation you can make to this great charity through supporting my attempt at UTMB will be greatly appreciated and will help me on through those long hours when all I'll be wanting to do will be to lie down on the side of the trail and sleep!!
