Valhöll by UTMB saw 2,264 starters and 2,146 finishers. And while these overall numbers seem respectable, compared to last year’s event this is over a 1/3 drop in participation (2024: 3,535 starters). The event overall had another respectable gender split, with the shorter distances having a higher percentage of women at the starting line making up for the less ideal representation at the longer races. In total 863 (40%) women and 1,276 (60%) men reached the finish line and earned themselves their respective stones and an UTMB index (or directly punched their ticket to the Finals in Chamonix for 2025).

Next up is Tenerife Bluetrail in Spain on March 27-29, 2025.
