YOUTH CHAMONIX COURMAYEUR

The YCC is a hybrid format challenge for young runners born between 2007 and 2012 with 2 races : a first trail race taking place in Courmayeur on Tuesday and a second short race for the top 200 finishers on Wednesday in Chamonix, YCC The Revenge.

The YCC is the perfect opportunity for the new generation of runners to taste the magic of the HOKA UTMB Mont-Blanc: a finish under the UTMB arch, speakers hyping up the crowd and the atmosphere, live tracking of the races, a challenge that takes place in two countries... and is two times the fun.

The two races in details

The second race, taking place on Wednesday in Chamonix, will be open only to the top 200 runners from the previous day’s race, who will compete on a single 7.5 km-effort* course. They will be selected according to the following criteria:

Minimes: top 30 boys & top 30 girls

Cadets: top 30 boys & top 30 girls

Juniors: top 40 boys & top 40 girls

Selection is carried out separately by category and gender, ensuring fair representation of all participants.

The runner who achieves the fastest time will awarded the winner of YCC The Revenge.

*The kilometre-effort is determined by adding the distance in kilometres to one-hundredth of the positive elevation gain in metres. The kilometre-effort converts the elevation gain into a flat equivalent.
