How Not to Get a UTMB Bib

28 December 2024

Another translated and FAKE!* article, this one from U-Trail:

Chamonix: a trail runner makes sexual advances to employees to obtain a bib for the UTMB
…
“She kept saying she would do anything to get a guaranteed bib,” says a regular at the bar.
…
Despite the incident, the UTMB organization wanted to reassure the trail running community. “We understand the frustration that a draw can cause, but we remind you that the results are completely random. No inappropriate behavior will change this rule,” said a spokesperson for the event.

It’s never great to make jokes about sexual assault, but man, you could fill a whole stand-up routine at the Western States Training Camp with these.
