UTMB organisers restate obligatory race kit
With fatalities and cancelled and re-routed events becoming more prevalent across global trail running these days, the real dangers in the high mountains are there for all to see…
This is not scaremongering, of course, however with the tragic circumstances at Ultra Cavalls del Vent last year and the sudden changes of weather that can occur, the organisers of the North Face® Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc® have re-iterared the need for safety and compulsory kit at this year’s event:
Bodies and spirits are in the process of being gently built up in order to cross all the passes of one of the The North Face® Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc® events, we rely on you to arrive on-form and as motivated as ever for the start of the race.
However, physical or mental breakdowns are not the only risks which may affect you, it will also be necessary for you to avoid the affects of heat or cold, injuries, or getting lost … In brief to adapt yourself to the mountain, watch out for yourself and for others.
