The organisation of this race would not be possible without volunteers like you. Around 180 people are involved every year in the organisation of this event, many travelling from across the globe to so that they can help these amazing athletes achieve their 170 km goal.
Volunteer roles include helping serve foods & drinks, checkpoint timing & general motivational support!
The athletes will run along the Tour Monte Rosa route from Grächen in Switzerland to Italy and back again. Some in 4 stages, some all at once!
Pictures tell 1000 words and from this you will see how the atmosphere of the 2019 race was!
Our sponsor On Running took over the running of checkpoint 12 at nearly 3000m. The runners loved it!
"This is my third year at the UTMR and I have really enjoyed being part of the race, it has given me focus, a goal and helped my running enormously. The course is challenging and beautiful and the volunteers friendly and helpful, the whole event has a informal almost family feel to it - which is great." - Dane Ryan
