Kilian Jornet and Zach Miller are calling for a boycott of UTMB, in order to defend the trail running community against the rising of the UTMB brand power. For instance, a runner cannot participate to UTMB unless he had run an UTMB branded race during the year, irrespective of the ITRA classification. There are also other points involved in this call for boycott, related to UTMB growing influence and money-making business
