Tour du Mont Blanc - First Half

Sat 9th September 2023

A hiker ascends a grassy, rocky mountain path with an expansive view of a valley below, surrounded by lush green slopes and jagged mountain peaks under a clear blue sky. A scenic view of a mountainous landscape with a valley covered in green trees and meadows below. In the foreground, small pink and white wildflowers are in bloom, while tall, jagged mountains tower in the background under a partly cloudy blue sky. Four hikers with backpacks and trekking poles walk on a dirt trail in a mountainous area with lush green vegetation. They are dressed in athletic wear, and the sky is clear. Snow-capped peaks and rugged cliffs dominate the background. A serene landscape of snow-capped mountains under a clear blue sky. The rugged peaks are partially covered with glaciers, contrasting with the dark green pine forests below that slope gently upwards. The scene evokes a sense of tranquility and natural beauty. A picturesque valley with yellow wildflowers in the foreground, lush green hillsides, and snow-capped mountains under a bright blue sky with scattered clouds. A winding road snakes through the landscape, creating a serene and inviting scene. A group of six people in athletic gear stand on a rocky path in a mountainous landscape. They hold a banner that reads "RUN the WILD – EXPLORING PLACES... NOT RUNNING RACES" with a mountain logo. The group smiles at the camera with treks in hand, surrounded by rugged peaks. Three trail runners are descending a mountain path surrounded by vast valleys and towering peaks. The sky is overcast, and the lush green landscape below contrasts with the rocky terrain. A narrow river winds through the valley. A person wearing a red jacket, black pants, and yellow shoes is running on a rocky, mountainous trail with trekking poles in both hands. They are surrounded by cloudy skies and distant mountain peaks. The trail overlooks a lush valley covered in greenery and clouds. Two trail runners, one in blue and the other in black, run along a rugged mountain path with trekking poles. They are surrounded by green hills and tall trees, with a breathtaking view of a vast valley and distant mountain range under a partly cloudy sky.

Organiser's Description

Run the first half of the most iconic multi-day trail running route in the Alps, the Tour du Mont Blanc! Looking for an incredible running adventure? Look no further! On this trip we split the usual 6 day Tour du Mont Blanc in half, which is ideal for those who want to experience the thrill of this incredible trail but without having to complete it all in one go. Over 3 days you will run 50 miles, climb 4,600m, pass through 2 countries and achieve the running challenge of a lifetime. Famous for the UTMB race, the route circumnavigates the highest mountain in the Alps, Mont Blanc, passing by its 71 glaciers and 400 summits.

The TMB is truly, the ultimate running adventure and provides memories to last a lifetime. It’s a perfect way to escape every day life and find true freedom on the trails. You will run through chocolate box villages, alpine meadows and high mountain passes and experience breath taking views of Mont Blanc. Guided, with all your logistics taken care of, we ensure you make the most of your trip. From pre-trip training through to running the route, we are with you every step of the way.

It’s broken down into 3 stages with a day to relax in Chamonix or Courmayeur at the beginning and end of the trip, in total 5 days. Our experienced guides will immerse you in the rich and varied history and cultures along the way, bringing the area to life. They will provide technical instruction such as how to use running poles and dealing with hills. We include logistics as well as food and accommodation with no hidden costs.
