- Experience my UTMB CCC 2021 day and night from the shuttle bus, start, views, aid stations, to the finish!
On 27 August 2021, I ran the UTMB CCC 2021
(Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc Courmayeur-Champex-Chamonix),
one of the most prestigious ultramarathon events in the world.
This is a video recording my experience of the day, a day I've been dreaming of after trying 3 years in the UTMB lottery. It also serves to provide information along the CCC course.
It was a beautiful day with amazing scenery, and lots of amazing runners along the way. Watch along to see the beautiful views, check out the aid stations, and experience my day.
I hope this serves as a record for myself, and provides good motivation and information for future UTMB runners.
Skip ahead to these major points along the CCC course with the timeline below.

1:17 Start of CCC
5:30 Tête de la Tronche and the most heavenly ridge run

Spectacular effort and probably the best job of capturing the course that I've seen. Really has me excited for my first CCC in August. I'd be interested in your gear selection, mandatory kit, nutrition, etc. Well done!
Thanks Dylan! And congrats for entering the CCC this year, I'm sure you will have a blast!
I remember last year this time, I had many question marks about the race myself...
I am in the planning stage of some videos that may respond to the queries, and I expect the videos to be out in the coming month.
Check back soon!
I've seen a lot of CCC race reports but yours its maybe the best one. Really cool mapping of the sections, and just enough information about your race. Well done man!
Thank you very much, Pedro! I'm so happy to hear that!! Trying to replicate the style in future videos so any comments are very welcome!! Thanks again!
Me acabas de hacer mi noche! Justo cuando ando al decaída 😢 he visto tu video y de nuevo me regresaron los ánimos y fuerzas para seguir entrenando para mi primer CCC este 2023. Gracias
tan feliz de que su video te haya ayudado. ¡Los hermosos senderos te esperan alrededor del mont blanc y buena suerte en tu entrenamiento! ¡Vuelvo a ver este video a veces cuando necesito motivación para mi entrenamiento de OCC este año también!

Thanks Morgan!! Hope you find them useful!
Bit of a map nerd and runner myself so just starting to blend them together by venturing into video making. Hopefully I could find even more use with these skills =)

Wow! 100 miles is incredible! I haven't ventured to that distanc yet!.
I am glad you loved it! Thank you!!!
Congratulations for your great race, and thanks a lot for these amazing images. What an achievement!
I had the chance to run the OCC the day before, with also amazing weather, and it was definitely one of the best race I have ever run.
I wasn't selected for the CCC lottery this year, but I'll try to get in next year 😅 Your video really made me think that I have to do it, the landscapes on the Italian side are just splendid.
Congrats again and keep on running 🏃⛰️
Thanks for your kind comment Antoine!
Funny enough, I wasn't selected for the OCC lottery this year (reverse from you), wanted to try a different part of the course and in daylight.
Italy side was amazing.
Congrats to you on your OCC and best of luck to our lottery! We might run into each other one of these years!
Same to you, keep running
Great video ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!!
Brilliant views. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed the views as much as I did!
Hey mate! You did well! Keep going and take care!!!👌✌✌
Thank you!! ✌
Huge congratulations on finishing, what a fantastic video of such beautiful scenery! Amazed you had the motivation to keep filming as it got tougher and tougher towards the end. Thanks for the ride!
Thanks so much! Glad you joined me through the journey! 😀
Great video Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Congratulation to be a finisher :-)
thanks a lot for this amazing movie (inside CCC) :-) so beautiful landscape !
Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it!! It's such a beautiful place to run in and I hope you have/will run here!!
Fabulous video and visuals! Congrats!
Thank you Ben!!
Thanks so much for putting the video up, absolutely amazing! I am running the CCC this Sept and this video helps visualise the course
Glad it was helpful! All the best in your training!!
Dankeschön für das tolle Video und herzlichen Glückwunsch sowie Respekt für Deinen persönlichen Sieg 🥇 👍💪😎
Dankeschön für Ihre netten Worte 😊😊😊
Muchas gracias 😀
😀😀😀
This is the closest I'll get to this course thanks for taking me along it was awesome!!! CONGRATS! Well deserved
Thank you! Hope it was a good experience!!
Congratulation. Great footage. Great views. I loved the effort and the "merci"
Thank you very much! Merci for enjoying it!!
Thank you for the footage and infos! Going now in 22! :)
Good luck and have fun!! Counting down the days is exciting!! Let me know if you have any questions 😉
Thank you for sharing your journey with me and those amazing views
Happy you enjoyed it!!
Such a great video! I've run OCC twice and looking forward to my first CCC in three weeks. I appreciate the course recon and can't wait for the pasta Bolognese 😉
That is awesome!! You'll experience the night in CCC, but it's a part that you've done in OCC already, so you will be super prepared for the occasion!! Good luck and let me know if you have questions! Enjoy the pasta and endless snacks😊😊😊
good job! inspiring video, thank you!
Thank you very much!!
This is the best and most informative CCC film that I've watched. It surely can give every runner, especially oversea runners, information on the actual course, weather, supply in support stations....Many many thanks.
Thank you for your comment! Really made my day. I am so glad this is helpful to you. I have other videos and in the process of making more videos tailored for overseas runners (going through what I had to research when I ran CCC last year so you don't have to)
Congratulations, you ran a great race. You took great shots. A great archive document for those who want to run this distance. "Health your feet" (an idiom in Turkish) :)
Thank you! teşekkür ederim!
No me canso de verlo, es un video espectacular, muy buenas tomas y uno siente que va a su lado... Simplemente espectacular para mi gusto. Espero algún día, pueda hacer cualquier ruta de esas!!!
¡gracias por el comentario!
Estoy tan feliz de saber que lo disfrutaste tanto
¡La montaña está allí, haz un viaje y sigue mi ruta gpx! Planeo crear una guía de estas montañas en el futuro.
(perdonen mi espanol limitado)
That was epic.
I’m from France and I absolutely love the little effort of the « merci »
You are gold such a epic scenery
Merci beaucoup!! I find the experience very rewarding immersing myself in the language... (I might be mispronouncing most of the time)
I got more confident in the merci as time went on... But was a bit confused whether merci was appropriate in the Italy and Swiss sections😅...and fell back to "thank you" at times.
Beautiful scenery in the area 😍 and I am glad the footage gave it justice.
Waow!! Great job! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you!!!
Amazing video, with mind blowing images ! I love your passion for this sport, it's very inspiring !
Thank you!!! It's a love-hate passion with this sport😆😆
@@RunThatMile haha yes, you hate it when you're in the middle of a CCC night, but the love comes quickly after it !
Cool video and emotions!!!
Thank you!!
Great views!
Thanks! I loved the views as well!! Glad you enjoyed it!
Exceptional video, very professional, congrats for your accomplishment!
Thank you very much!
Beautiful film my friend!
Thank you!!!
Thank you for this beautiful video, one day I'll be running that course and remember of you.
Thanks for the kind words! Hope you run the course soon! It's lovely.
Well done!
Thank you!
You tell that story really well. Well done on such a hard race. The elevation and map were really helpful, thanks for taking the time to do those. One thing to think about for next time. When you’re showing the map, show it full screen, as it cuts off the rest of the screen, and I wondered what I was missing out on, rather than concentrating on the map. Really liked your titles at each point. Very coherent. Thanks.
Thank you for your suggestion, Dion! That's a good point I didn't consider. Full screen might have worked better.
Thanks for noticing the details as well and glad you enjoyed the video!! Beginner attempts😊
@@RunThatMile your video is way better than beginner attempts. Well done
@@stmarybythesea Thank you very much!! That's encouraging 😄
It is so cool to see your CCC video! Reminded me how pretty the Alps is. The year i did CCC was snowy and rainy but still a marvelous experience. Fai d post dor d videos! Allez allez!
Thank you!! Congrats on completing CCC as well and I'm glad it brings up memories as it does myself.
I apologize for not posting videos for so many months, I have quite a backlog filmed and really want to get working on them soon after a few busy events in my real job in the next few weeks. OCC was filmed this year and should be coming up next! Stay tuned!
Amazing! Thanks for the video, reminds me of my own CCC experience back in 2018 😆 By the way, like your 29:07 “最後”😂 聽到廣東話，好親切
多謝師兄支持！突登留番少少廣東話喺條片入面， 好野你留意到！！😆😁🙂
Grazie grazie e ancora grazie.
Grazie per averci fatto vivere questa splendida avventura insieme a te. Mi sono emozionato solo a guardare. Incredibile.
grazie per il tuo bel commento! sono felice che ti sia piaciuta l'esperienza con me!
Nice run!
Thanks!
Nice video, well edited. The ending with the "idiot" checkmark made me chuckle.
Thank you very much!! I truly live by that checkmark 😂
Running CCC this year for my 1st 100k and this was very helpful, thank you!! Next I'll take a look at that video run from La flagere to Chamonix.
Glad to hear this is helpful! I'm in the process of creating more content that could help anyone preparing for UTMB as I went through before. Let me know if there's any particular topic you'd like to know!!
Superb job สุดยอดมากครับ..
Thank you! ขอบคุณ
Simplemente espectacular , paisaje muy chingones
si muy asombroso ¡Estoy feliz de que hayas disfrutado de las vistas tanto como yo!
拍得好正！17年玩過，睇到真係咩回憶都返晒嚟😍😍好有心揸住支360cam咁影，辛苦晒！
多謝😊!最緊要留住回憶分享俾大家回味！
Nice work bud
Thank you!
Thank you so much, Love your video so much, such a motivator for me to keep going coming few days! Me too longed for this event after 2 year of lottery and 2 more year of waiting because of Covid! Cheers
Thank you for your message!! I'm so glad it can motivate! Yeah I did 3 years of lottery and just had to go even with ridiculous quarantine restrictions.
Good luck on your run along the course, it's worth it!
Excellent
Thank you! Cheers!
Watched it just now with my wife. Ran the ccc in 2018 myself and you captured the course so amazing beautiful! Now my wife have seen some of the segments she weren’t able to see. Hope you have plans for some more great races 💪🏻
Thanks for the comment and hope both of you enjoyed it (and relived the good experience)!
Hopefully some more races soon....but in the meantime, I run around when I travel to explore and those have been as interesting as an actual race😊
Nice video, well done
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Excellent job! I was there too and for me it was my first experience with running around Mt Blanc. I remembered all passages from video but many of them I didn´t seen, becouse for me the night started behind La Fouly. You are very good runner, your finish time is my dream! I finished this race in time 26:29, excatly only 16 seconds before limit time...🙂 But this year i have got second opportuniti for improve my finish time in this race...
Thank you very much! Glad to hear you were on the course together with me and great job for finishing in time!! You probably have a great crowd cheering for you! I am going back again this year for OCC, to see the night parts I missed from my CCC run. All the best this year!!
Thank you so much for sharing.The quality is really nice. You did it great !
Thank you so much!
@@RunThatMile you’re welcome. Your footage is amazing. I also got my youtube channel posting vids from my runs into the Pyrenees mountains but I do not have your talent editing as i would like to. Do not even know how you put maps and altitude…
@@nicolasmachado447 Thanks for the compliment!! I am also starting fairly new and have just started picking up the techniques from other youtubers.
I use adobe after effects with the geolayers add on if that helps. I'm quite fascinated with maps so decided to invest some time and $ in it.
The best film about ccc I’ve ever seen
Thank you for your nice comment!!
@@RunThatMile I am going to run that race this year.
@@bartoszkociumbas9387 That's exciting!! Let me know if you have questions/concerns about the race, I'll try my best to help!
Other than that, make it as enjoyable as possible =)
European country side is so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes it is! Still my most beautiful run!
awesome!
Thanks!
@barautbachjaume beautiful images that made me remember my participation in the same year as you, I managed to reach Trient and my stomach told me enough, I was very tired and health is the first thing. Eager to come back and get it. Congratulations for the effort before the race, during the race for your mentality and strength throughout the race, it is not easy to achieve.
Thank you for your kind words! The stomach is definitely one of the main battlegrounds, more so than our legs I think. I had stomach problems starting from champex but fortunately made it through to the end, I had to stop several times after vallorcine to let the pain go through... Barely made it at the end. I might have had too many power gels.
Hope you will return and finish the race!!
Great effort and awesome video 🔥
Thank you so much 😀
Nice to see a bit of the route and Checkpoint experience. Going to UTMB this year. Can’t wait ⛰💥
@@RenXiS47 Wow Congratulations! IThat's exciting! I'm sure you will have a great time there. Let me know if you have questions about preparing for the week!
