Recently, the ultra-running community has been rocked by an unprecedented move from elite athletes Kilian Jornet and Zach Miller. They have issued a bold call to action, urging top runners to boycott UTMB in favour of an alternative race. This video unpacks the reasons behind this dramatic stance, including concerns about UTMB's points system, aggressive market strategies, and environmental issues.
We discuss the complex Whistler Alpine Meadows controversy involving Gary Robbins, and the firing of commentator Corrine Malcolm by UTMB, shedding light on the growing discontent within the trail and ultra-running community. Additionally, we discuss the influence of UTMB's headline sponsor, Dacia, and The Green Runner's response to this partnership.
The new World Trail Majors series, provides a less uncomfortable alternative to UTMB, and we speculate on the future direction of elite ultra-running competitions. We aim to provide a balanced view, examining the perspectives of both UTMB supporters and critics.
Join us in this exploration of the evolving landscape of ultra-running, the role of big business in the sport, and the potential implications for the future of prestigious races like UTMB. Whether you're a seasoned ultra-runner, a fan of the sport, or just curious about this latest controversy, this video offers valuable insights into another critical moment in ultra-running history.
