Excitement is growing about the Ultra Tour Monte Rosa and there’s a lot to get excited about with this race. For example:
-
It’s a spectacular route, following the famous Tour de Monte Rosa on the Swiss-Italian border.
-
It’s 116km long, with 7500m of ascent. If that sounds like a bit too much to do in one go, the unique feature of this race is that you can also do it as a stage race over 3 days.
-
Its race director is none other than Lizzy Hawker. She was inspired to create this race because it’s where she spent many hours training for the UTMB. And she has won the UTMB 5 times so it clearly inspired her - maybe it’ll do the same for you.
-
And now, the Ultra Tour Monte Rosa has a brand new website (here). It’s highly visual, with many photos of the route, which is just perfect to showcase a race like this. We loved looking at the photos and reading the quotes from people who ran the event last year.
This will be a very special race and guess what? There are still a few entries available. Have a look at the new
website, soak up some inspiration and grab that credit card.
