Once a year the trail running community descends onto Chamonix for one of the biggest weeks in the running calendar. Seven races take place across the week, with distances ranging from 10km all the way to 300km with runners of every level showing unimaginable displays of strength, commitment and heart.
Amongst the thousand of runners, our The North Face athletes stood tall, running incredibly to once again show the proof is on the podium.
Zac Miller (US) and Germain Grangier (FR) closed out the UTMB distance, completing the 171 kilometre course with 9,963 metres of elevation to place in 2nd (19:58:58) and 3rd place (20:10:52) respectively. It didn't stop there, with Rod Farvard (US) also finishing inside the top 20 with 17th (22:32:59) place.
The OCC race also saw strong performances from fellow athletes on The North Face team, with Michelino Sunseri (US) placing 26th, Stephanie Howe (US) taking 30th, Erika Flowers (US) coming in 40th. All incredible performances over the 55 kilometres and an elevation gain of 3,500 metres.
