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 

The first 20 people to leave 20 reviews will win a €/£/$20 Decathlon or Amazon gift card! The first 10 people to leave 50 reviews will win a €/£/$50 Decathlon or Amazon gift card! Additionally, there will be a draw to win 2 TrailRunAdvisor printed running t-shirts among the first 100 reviews submitted.

Welcome to TrailRunAdvisor! We are delighted to announce the official launch after six months of devoted efforts!
