OCC is the “little” UTMB World Series Finals. Though now, increasingly not a little race anymore with a new course that boasts 60km and 3,500M of vert. The race starts in Orsières, Switzerland and loosely follows the UTMB route back to Chamonix. A new section was added around Col de Balme that really makes me want to run this race again. I remember this being some of the prettiest sections of trail on the whole course – glad runners get to enjoy a bit more of it now.
Lauren Gregory (USA) seeks out a win on the final few meters while Frédéric TRANCHAND (France) lead the field for most of the race.
