Kilian Back to UTMB?

The new year is barely a day old and the rumor mill is already heating up:

All the rumours in the last few weeks point that Kilian would be thinking as a big target for the 2026 season to return to UTMB!!

No further confirmation on this beyond this somewhat obscure IG channel dedicated to trail running… but after a few years of Kilian Jornet missing the Finals in Chamonix it seems time for him to return. He’s already confirmed Western States for 2026 – this would be a nice double. Nnormal usually shares the race and project plans for their athletes in January. We shall see if we get confirmation then.
