The 20th edition of UTMB Mont-Blanc will take place from August 28 to September 3, 2023. As the World Running Summit, it will host a total of 8 events, including the legendary UTMB. Kilian Journet, winner in 2022 at the end of a record race, did not put the event on his agenda for 2023. Just like François Dehaene, the other co-organizer of the victory record with 4 successes.
With the implementation of a new athletic scoring system, OCC, CCC and UTMB pre-registration took place from June to December 2022 and required at least running stones and a valid UTMB indicator to participate in one of the three UTMB World Championship Finals.
