We are pleased to introduce our 2024 Transport Plan
In 2024, our primary goal is to ensure every athlete has a smooth race while actively preserving the natural beauty of our valleys from the environmental impact of vehicles and lessen the impact on the local inhabitants. To achieve this, we have enhanced our transport plan for 2024 by significantly increasing the number of shuttles. This allows us to better accommodate elite athletes and reduce the overall ecological footprint. To further optimize logistics, we have categorized runners into those eligible for Car Passes and those eligible for Priority Bus Passes based on the UTMB Index levels. Runners will find their Car Pass or Priority Bus Pass directly in their bib envelope.
