UTMB Announces Hoka Prize Purse

18 June 2024

This update had been in the works for awhile now the news has finally dropped today:

UTMB Boosts Prize Money to Support Professional Athletes in Achieving Sustainable Livelihoods

The summary:

  • The Hoka branding is again all over this… if UTMB doesn’t watch out Hoka will just buy the whole series.
  • The payout for the Finals almost doubled.
  • Payout is the same for women and men!
  • They extended the prize money from just offering €€€ for the Finals in Chamonix to include the Majors as well.
  • For the Finals the payout goes 10 deep, while for the Majors it’s just 5 deep.
  • One change – and element of debate – is that previously the payout for UTMB, CCC, and OCC was the same, now podium finishers of UTMB – the longest distance – receive almost double the amount compared to CCC and OCC.
  • The Pro Trail Runner Association (or de facto union of pro trail runners who participate in UTMB events) celebrates this announcement.

All good developments in the right direction.
