iRunFar on the UTMB Starting List

Here’s their list of top names for the men’s race and here for the women’s race.

Most notably on the list: Jim Walmsley, who on Oct 27th posted on his Strava:

So what do we race next year then?

This was posted just a day after UTMB announced their Whistler race and it sounded to many like a direct response to that announcement and the corresponding kerfuffle.

Bill Yang on Twitter/X:

Interesting. USA still represented well.

Ian Corliss on Twitter/X:

Mmmmm well, the #boycott didn’t work

Exactly. And I don’t think this list would’ve looked much differently if CMTR would’ve been able to pull a race in Chillwack out of their hats.

Important note from iRunFar:

These entrants lists will continue to evolve in the coming months, as more elites gain access to the various races.

We’ll keep you updated as more runners sign on. But I hope this will be an important step in letting us focus on what trail running is all about: Running awesome trails around the world.
