Blatten, Switzerland

The UTMB World Series on Instagram:

The 300 residents of Blatten have lost everything: their homes, their personal belongings, their family heirlooms. The emotion is immense in the Loetschental Valley, but also in Valais, as this disaster reminds everyone of the fragility of our way of life and the increased dangers our habitat faces.

In this context, a donation of 10.000 EUR has been made through UTMB Cares as an immediate response to assist the people of Blatten in need.

Great gesture from UTMB, as many of the regions our trail races are running through are affected by the changing climate and will see more and more severe natural events.
