A race organized by runners, for runners!
Here comes the third edition of a race that aims to become a must-attend event in Finistère’s sporting calendar. Please note: the 2023 edition features a new date, new distances, and the addition of a relay race! One more update: the UTMA will now serve as the venue for the Finistère Long-Distance Trail Championship!
We dreamed up and created this adventure for runners, with the goal of helping them discover the unique landscapes of the Monts d’Arrée, while respecting their beauty and fragility. The wildfires of summer 2022 left their mark on this uniquely beautiful natural environment, so we moved up the date and adapted our routes, mindful of the role we have to play in its preservation. To better meet runners’ expectations at this point in the racing season, we’ve also shortened the distances. But be warned… the 2023 UTMA will still be a challenging and demanding race, with 2,300 meters of elevation gain over a distance of 65 km. The shorter version of the Tour du Mont, covering 35 km and 1,100 D+, will offer competitors a concentrated taste of the landscapes and atmosphere of the Monts d’Arrée. Finally, the new relay format will allow teams of two to create wonderful sporting memories in the heart of Brittany.
Our race was able to get off the ground and continue thanks to the incredible dedication of our generous volunteers (220 for the 2022 edition) and local organizations, which we will continue to support financially (€5,360 donated in 2022).
We also want this event to be an opportunity for the runners and their companions to enjoy an unforgettable day or weekend in this magical part of inland Brittany.
