Hiya, I'm Kevin. I'm faculty emeritus from UNC. Before that faculty at UTMB and then a scientist at Eli Lilly. My studies were centered on molecular virology, especially with picornaviruses. I still consult, read, and support science in retirement. See my bibliography in my profile. Cheers!

I'm aware I'm a massive hypocrite having run a number of the UTMB races, but after completing the big one last year I was trying to make a conscious effort to avoid the circus of UTMB races but it's beginning more and more difficult

Like I say, no shade on doing UTMB races. I spent 2-3 years doing as many of their races as possible to get the stones to get back into UTMB after a DNF. But they are hoovering up so many races and they'll undoubtedly put organisers out of business. I just find it sad

That said, most races I do are smaller low-key local ones. My point is that the smaller UTMB ones still can maintain a good vibe though.

Race recap:
UTMB Majorca El Très Mils 31/10/26
55km / 2,400m D+
The short version is it went really well - a near perfect run with no physical problems, fuelling issues or extreme weather (which had plagued my races in 2026).
A few more details to follow…

I agree, hopefully people continue to seek out & support independent races. Trail running seems so popular that I hope there are enough runners to support a diversity of events.
The UTMB races at finals week at not the most interesting. They all cover basically portions of the same route.

I'LL RUN 136 KM, 6000 M ELEVATION, TRAIL RUN
First race in Poland, officially signed up as a UTMB race.
I wanted to run 96 km, but it was fully booked, so I decided to sign up for the hardest challenge!
Some of you know that I love breaking barriers. It will be the toughest challenge of my life.

It's hard to judge their true impact unless you've experienced races they took over before they became UTMB. The Arc of Attrition in Cornwall is now totally unrecognisable. What was a real unique 100 mile epic now has distances down to 20km and the whole of West Cornwall gridlocked.

My point being is it really worth chasing UTMB stones as the finals week isn’t that amazing. You could come to Chamonix for marathon week instead at the end of June & see some different trails. Or even better do the Tour des Fiz or any one of dozens of other cool local races

And absolutely no shade if UTMB races are your thing and your ambition is to run in Chamonix week but I'm done with them, they really don't represent what I fell in love with in ultra/trail running.
Really gutted that Stubai has gone down this route
