Nice Côte d’Azur 2024 Results

This was the third edition of Nice Côte d’Azur by UTMB on the south coast of France. And while that sounds like a lovely place for a race, the weather usually is quite finicky and provides an interesting added challenge. Notable results include Courtney Dauwalter smashing yet again all previous records, arriving 5 hours ahead of the second woman and in 2nd place overall within just 13 minutes of first place. I wonder how first place Cristofer felt the over the last 5 hours of the race when there was a honest chance for Courtney to overtake him. But she wasn’t the only one racing this event aiming for stones to get back to the UTMB Finals this coming year. This year’s UTMB winner Vincent Bouillard ran and won the 20K, I’m assuming to also get stones for the coming year.
