How to Watch the 2024 Ultra Trail du Mont-Blanc Races
This year’s Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc is right around the corner—which means some of the best athletes in the trail-running universe will be meeting up in Chamonix, France, to test their mettle on one of the sport’s biggest stages.
With double the prize money on the line this year, athletes will have more to fight for than ever. And you can get a front seat to the action without leaving home. Here’s how to watch the 2024 UTMB World Series Finals, including the 50K championship, OCC, the 100K championship, CCC, and the grand finale 100-mile championship, the 106-mile Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB), from August 29-September 1.
Catch the Action Live
What started as a stand-alone race has transformed into a weeklong festival of alphabet soup acronyms. There are eight total races during the week from August 26-September 1, but the three races that make up the official UTMB World Series Final—the OCC, CCC, and UTMB—will all be brought to you via drones, bike and runner follow cams, and non-stop commentary.
Last year, Outside and UTMB World Series teamed up to make it easier to stream the UTMB’s top trail-running events. This year, the partnership continues—which means you can watch 10 of the series’s best events live on Outside TV.

The championships racing action starts on Thursday, August 29 with the OCC as runners start from Orsières, Switzerland (and race the final third of the loop to Chamonix). The action continues straight into Friday morning with the start of CCC in Courmayeur, Italy (which sends runners along two thirds of the loop to Chamonix), and culminates with the crème de la crème, the full-loop UTMB, which kicks off in downtown Chamonix that evening at 6 P.M. local time. The 106-mile race with roughly 32,800 feet of climbing and descending is a time-honored test piece for lifelong ultrarunners, up-and-coming rookies, and elite-level pros alike. For many, it’s the most anticipated trail race of the year.
