You will be able to pre-register directly on the HOKA UTMB Mont-Blanc website from 8 January 2026 at 11 a.m. (CET) until 19 January 2026 at 11:59 p.m. (CET).
No entries will be accepted outside the above-mentioned entry periods.
- The results of the draw will be published on 22 January 2026. The selected runners will have until 4 February 2026 to confirm their registration by paying the participation fee. After this deadline, your pre-registration will be cancelled and you will lose half of your Running Stones.
- Depending on the number of unconfirmed entries from the initial lottery draw, runners on the waiting list will be contacted on February 5 to find out if they have secured a spot. The waiting list position will not be communicated.
No, it is not possible to pre-register for multiple races subject to a lottery (UTMB, CCC, OCC, MCC, ETC). Also, if you pre-register for a race subject to the lottery and simultaneously register for a non-lottery race (TDS or PTL), your pre-registration will be automatically canceled. However, if you pre-register and are not selected in the lottery, you will have the opportunity to register for the TDS (subject to availability).
Runners have the option of pre-registering as a group. The objective of a group entry is that all group members have the same result in the draw, and this may be positive or negative.
To pre-register as a group you should be sure that all the members of the group enter the same code previously created during the pre-registration by one member of the group. Only in this way your pre-registrations will be considered as group pre-registrations.
- The minimum number of runners required for a group registration is two.
- The maximum number of runners for a group registration is twelve.
- To be eligible for group registration, all members of the group must meet the necessary criteria to enter the lottery, having a valid UTMB Index and at least one Running Stone.
- For groups registration, when entering the lottery, we will consider the Running Stones of the member within the group who has the fewest Running Stones.
- Runners in the same group can register for different races at the HOKA UTMB Mont-Blanc. (ETC, OCC, CCC, UTMB)
- The group can either create their own group name or generate one automatically.
Please find here all the information regarding group pre-registrations
In your MyUTMB account you can find three traffic lights, red, orange and green.
- The red light indicates that you do not have a valid Running Stone or UTMB® Index for the race category that you wish to register for.
- The orange light indicates that while you currently have a valid UTMB Index and Running Stones. one of these will no longer be valid at the time of the lottery. Unless you udpate your UTMB Index or acquire Running Stones before the lottery closes, your pre-registration will be cancelled.
- The green light means that you currently meet all the criteria and have at least 1 Running Stone and a valid UTMB® Index for the race you wish to enter and that these criteria will still be valid at the time of the draw.
