Nice by UTMB is a Go

At least for this year. From the official statement posted on the UTMB website:

UTMB Group has made the exceptional decision to maintain the 2026 edition. Preparations are already at an advanced stage, the event is sold out, and 6,500 runners along with 3,000 supporters have already committed to traveling to Nice. Furthermore, numerous local economic and tourism stakeholders are already fully mobilized for this event. Honoring its commitments is a core value of UTMB Group, even if it means accepting a budget deficit and absorbing a significant financial impact following the 2026 edition.

This gives all parties a few month to renegotiate and figure out a path forward for 2027 and beyond.
