This would of been my fourth UTMB. Great Race, I think they did well with the evacuation from St Gervais. BUT... I never received a text about the new race..and so did a lot of Americans.. This upset me..I beleive they started the new race so their would be no comebacks with refunds, race carry overs etc.. dont get me wrong, its a great race.. but I got a text about the weather the day before from them, but no text about the replacement race. I collected my drop bag on that same night, no mention.
I wont be going back, L100 and Hardmoors for me next year.
On a lighter note, I hear Jon Steele the Hardmooors 110 race director is giving £10 off entry fee for this years race for any UTMB runner who didnt run, or ran the replacement race.
