He shared his new project via LinkedIn (auto translated):
So yes, I’m going back in 2026 for a new chapter of UTMB Slow Path.
A project that remains faithful to the same simple idea: to link several events of the UTMB World Series circuit by giving the route its rightful place.
Between April 19 and June 15, I will leave Provence to reach Alsace, before crossing the entire Massif Central from north to south. Along the way, they will have the pleasure of participating in the Grand Raid Ventoux by UTMB, the Trail Alsace by UTMB and the Trail Andorra 100 by UTMB
But the main thing will be elsewhere. Walking. For a long time. Crossing the landscapes of France at human height. Accepting not to go fast.
Most of this route will be done on foot, with a few junctions by train or bus, simply because the time I have does not allow me to do everything differently.
I will make this trip alone. But I hope I will have the pleasure of sharing a few stages with those who want to join me, for a few kilometers or a few days.
Last year Michel and his brother “slow path-ed” around the world, this year he’s connecting various UTMB events in France. Fun project, almost ‘Laz’-like. For those without LinkedIn, you can follow Michel’s journey on Polarsteps.
