Course & challenge

CCC

The organiser gave 108 km and 6,200 metres of climb, with a maximum time of 28 hours. The first big effort came early: the Tête de la Tronche at 2,543 metres after 9.5 km, facing Mont Blanc and the Grandes Jorasses, then the balcony past the Bertone and Bonatti refuges, Arnouvaz and Refuge Elena to the Grand Col Ferret (2,527 m) at 31 km and the crossing into Switzerland.

From La Fouly at 41 km the course ran down to Praz de Fort and up to Champex-Lac at 55 km, the hot-food stop, then over La Giète to Trient at 72 km and Les Tseppes to Vallorcine at 83 km and back into France. The finish came via the Col des Montets, the Tête de Béchar and La Flégère to Chamonix. The CCC is now the 100K final of the UTMB World Series. The 2026 race was won by Cristian Minoggio and Yngvild Kaspersen.

This page belongs to the 2026 CCC. A morning start split the field: the leaders finished in daylight while the organiser’s timetable for the back of the field reached Vallorcine only on Saturday morning. On Livebib the runner’s own link shows family and friends the position on the course line, the distance covered and an updating finish estimate, with no account or app, and through the Swiss valleys without signal the position is carried forward and marked as estimated.

CCC

What the name means
Courmayeur, Champex, Chamonix: an Italian start, a Swiss crossing and a French finish.
First run
2006

The CCC began as the “little sister of the UTMB” and has become one of the most prestigious races in the world in its own right. It starts in the centre of Courmayeur and quickly climbs to about 2,500 m, face to face with Mont Blanc and the Grandes Jorasses.

The Grand Col Ferret takes it into Switzerland, through La Fouly, Champex and Trient. Back in France it passes Vallorcine and makes a last climb to the Vallon des Cheserys, with its view of the Mont Blanc range, before the finish in the heart of Chamonix.
