UTMB Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc 2023 MY STORY
Vložit
- čas přidán 10. 01. 2024
- I had a dream of taking part in UTMB, the Ultra Trail Du Mont Blanc... a 170km and 10'000m D+ race around the Mont Blanc Massif. Join me on the adventure of a lifetime where Ultra Running values meet Life values, as I venture across France, Italy and Switzerland. This race transcends the sport... it is a spiritual pilgrimage where I have to dig deep and beyond the strength of the mind and body. This film also attempts to best reflect the emotions experienced at each step of the way whilst also making a detailed depiction of the course and it's difficulty.

This is probably the best UTMB self-documentary I've watched so far. All human emotions were captured so immaculately, the exhaustion, the struggle and the despair, it's far from the glory of what elite athletes can do but I can relate to every second of your journey as a normal being. Not to mention that the narration was beautifully written, I completely shed tears every time I heard the valuable life lesson you shared, indeed becoming is more important than just being. I believe it's not only a race, but it's more of a life-changing journey and I thank that you shared it with us. I wish you all the best for your new season abroad!
Thanks so much Andreas for taking the time to share your thoughts on this film. I am profoundly touched by your words. I’m really happy that you could appreciate the depth of the message I was trying to convey in this adventure. Thanks for following; more films to come on the life journey through epic adventures.
Your finish had me tearing up! What a great accomplishment, Congratulations!!
Thanks so much!! I’m stoked I could transmit what ai felt especially at the finish! It was such a powerful moment that brought tears to my eyes during the race 🥲
Congratulations Rafael. I also ran in this race, and every so often when I'm sat at my desk, I like to look at videos from UTMB to remind me a the experience. Your video brought back some fantastic memories; thank you for sharing your story.
Thanks! I see I'm not the only one to be reminiscent about this incredible adventure! when I confront tough times in life I remind myself of this adventure and how I pushed through the difficult moments. We didn't meet during the race you were most certainly way ahead of me haha ;)
I was not expecting such a journey when I randomly clicked on your story, the philosophy of struggle, pain and achievement. Outstanding Raphael. I am 68 and thinking of a 50k only to top off my life of running. Congrats on a great race and film.
Thanks a lot Jon! Stoked you enjoyed the philosophical dimension of the journey. Beyond the running I find the spiritual and psychological dimensions super interesting. Good luck l with tour 50k! I’m sure you will crush it!! 🙌
This is the best documentary of UTMB and one of your best videos as well!👏🏼Bravo and well done with everything Rafael and thank you for sharing this awesome heart-warming documentary, the narration is so humbling it gives me goose bumps. Bless you Rafael and your family.❤
Thanks so much Cristina! Your message is truly heartwarming 🤗 so happy you enjoyed the film! It was a pleasure sharing this adventure! I wish it inspires people not only for running but also to have hope in life.
Congratulations on completing the race 🎉
What a fantastic film Rafael! Your stories are so wonderful and so inspiring. Thank you for allowing me to share in your emotional world.
Many greetings from Sweden, andy, trail runner.
Hi Andy! Thanks a lot for dropping a few lines! Stoked you enjoyed the ride! Really appreciated!
Wow. Truly an incredible film into how the strength of the mind can propel us past our physical capabilities. A wonderful achievement.
Bravo Rafael 👏👏
Thanks! And even more than the strength of the mind the strength of the soul 🙌 thanks for watching and thanks for your support 🙏
One of the best ultra videos I’ve watched. You really took us on your journey, many thanks for that. Congratulations on completing such a tough challenge.
Thanks a lot Joe!! So happy you enjoyed it! Stoked i was able to take you on that odyssey 🙏
I have watched dozens of UTMB documentaries so far. Good ones indeed. Yours nevertheless stands out. The way how you take us with you on your endeavour is emotionally gripping. Your thoughts and feelings along the way, your reflection of the why, and the authenticity you share with us are touching. It says all about why we do and love ultrarunning that much. Keep going, Rafael, and thank you for that.
thanks so much for your touching message. It really means a lot. 🥹 heartwarming beyond words. I’m put all my heart into this film to try and convey as best possible the human dimension of this adventure and to receive such feedback makes all the effort well worth it. Thanks you so much 🙏
Fantastic achievement and very movingly documented. Thanks for sharing your very personal and philosophical journey around Mont Blanc. This awoke a lot of feelings within me from my own CCC journey the same day. Really spot on!
Thanks a lot Adam! Stoked it touched you. My aim was indeed to touch our respective sensitive chords in these very personal journeys 🙏 thanks for watching.
What a great documentary, Rafael. I’m starting that quest this year with my first 100k and then my first 100-miler.
Watching your video is definitely an inspiration. And that quote at the end of it was 🤯
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks a lot Victor! Kudos to you for taking on this quest! Create your own myth! Go out there and discover yourself 🙌
Those finish line feels ❤❤.... great job!!
Thanks!
We just love the little snippets of all the incredibly beautiful places you've run over the years. Being with other ultra runners and discovering so many beautiful places is what (ultra) running is all about. Thank you for sharing your UTMB story with us.
Thanks! Swissalps 100 has a special place in my heart ♥️ I will never forget the Aletch Glacier part and the bench at the top of the final climb 😉
thanks thanks thanks Raphel for this vibrant video, who comes at a very important moment of my life. La narration est superbe, l'ecriture parfaite, tu as su mettre les mots sur les emotions. et faire vibrer quelque chose de precieux, qui est au fond de nous, mais qu'on perd de vue parfois (souvent en fait). je viens de finir le visionnage et je pleure encore. merci merci merci. le trail c'est comme la vie: elle est belle. Mais dure. Mais c'est ainsi.
Merci pour ton message qui me fait chaud au coeur! J’ai tenté du mieux que je peux de donner la profondeur à cette aventure que l’on partage tous d’une manière ou d’une autre 🙏 c’est en effet une métaphore de la vie 💫
You did not promise too much! Another film which touched me deep within my heart. Thanks for everything! One day, I want to run a section of an ultra at your side. 💪
Thanks so much buddy! For sure some day it will happen! wishing you a prompt recovery! we will see you back on the trails soon I'm sure! keep up the good spirit and the positive thinking!
Thank so much! I am doing my best.@@rafaelhidalgo
Rafael, what you accomplished is simply amazing! This to me is the best UTMB movie I've seen so far! You allowed us to walk virtually with you and share all the emotions of your dream coming through. I cried twice for the last 1h 30min (on the start and the finish). You are such an inspiration!
Greetings from Bulgaria 🇧🇬 and a wannabe UTMB finisher 🙏
P.S: The GoPro drop gave me a heart attack too! I thought you fell with it! Phew!
Thanks so much!! Really warms my heart to read your lines 🙏 so happy you were able to feel what I experienced during that adventure. It’s not easy to convey abstract things such as emotions.
Haha yeah the gopro falling moment was stressful!! Just a few km before the finish!! 😮💨 thanks for taking the time to watch it all! 🙏
(And good luck with your UTMB journey!hope you can materialize that dream as well 🙏 never give up!)
Congratulations!
When you embark on such a trip you know you'll struggle. However, being so close to cut of each time, I was scared for you the whole time.
Enjoy it!
I hope you don't stop putting out these ultra adventures, but enjoy your well earned rest after achieving such a big goal!
Thanks so much! Yeah those cut offs were tough!! Scared the hell out of me too haha more Ultras to come.
Terrific work Rafael. You have outdone yourself on this one! Not just the amazing athletic performance, but the editing along with your personal commentary is wonderful.
Thanks so much Nico! Really appreciate the support! Hope it can give people hope to follow their dreams 🙏
This is the best UTMB documentary and best video of ultra marathon! A masterpiece.
Thanks sooooo much!!!!
What an awesome story. Clicked on this by chance and ended up watching all 97 minutes!!! Congrats on a race well run. Just getting to the starting line is a huge achievement and I am humbled by the fact that every single person at that start line probably has a unique story to tell ❤👏👏👏
Thanks a lot!! Really appreciate your kind words and support! Indeed we all have our unique story, unfolding our respective myths on that legendary start line 🙌
Thank you Rafael.. it was great video sharing. . For those "average " runners, who keep going for the last one / two hours(minutes )to finish line at Chamonix to watch. Bring back the memory, myself at UTMB 2023, sleepless night, rushing the COT, the pain on our feet.. . The crowd cheering.. That all worth it , in the life time.
Managed to finished on 46.03hrs. 😅
You keep up the good work.. 👍👍
Thanks a lot! Congrats to you for finishing! Our paths probably crossed at some point during the race! Bravo to you! And thanks for the support!
One of the best ultra running films I’ve ever seen! Congratulations both for the film and the accomplishment!!!
Thanks so much!!! Stoked you enjoyed it!!
Thank you for allowing us to witness this incredible film. This is life as pure as it gets. I can't even put into words how incredibly motivating it was to see all of your ups and downs. I just signed up for my very first ultra a couple of days ago and I am sure this film will be on my mind as I enter the pain cave and unknown territory. From the bottom of my heart - thank you!
Thanks so much! Such a heartwarming message 🙏 really appreciate it and more importantly stoked it motivated you! You go get your ultra finish! Setting yourself daunting objectives is how you grow as a person 🚀
What a great documentary and inspiration! The ultrarunning community is so humble and respectfull and i love it. Gongrats !
Thanks a lot for your kind words!
Apart from the debate on commercialism of UTMB, you are the most inspiring participant in 2023 UTMB. Respect!❤ (BongTak From South Korea)
Haha thanks; i had to mention it 😄 since it’s a hot topic at the moment 😁
As a father of 2 teenage daughters, you have explained exactly why we challenge ourselves to do crazy adventures! You have inspired me greatly - huge thanks! ❤
Thanks a lot David! Stoked you could relate to the story!! 🙏 continue inspiring your daughters!
I have loved your journey over the years I have been following and watching. I always find your ethos of showing your children about determination and hard work, where it can take you and to keep persevering. We don't all have the same goals and dreams but to have a good work ethic is key.
A great reason and cause that you undertook the race for♥️! Looking forward to seeing what adventures you take on next👍
Thanks a lot Nicholas appreciate the kind words and your following 🤗
Bro, its absolutely amazing what you did. And hats off for filming it out and sharing with us.
Thanks!! Stoked you enjoyed the ride! 🙏
This is the best UTMB video I have seen, I watched it in one go and you have done a great job describing how you felt throughout the race. Well done for videoing yourself when you must have been in pain and feeling exhausted. I was in Chamonix watching the finishers and I can see myself wearing yellow just before the finish arch. Well done on getting in to and finishing the UTMB and for taking and editing this great video!
Thanks a lot Phil! Stoked you saw yourself at the finish line and stoked you enjoyed the film! I definitely poured my heart into it 🤗
Rafael, I have to say I wasn't expecting to last the full 97 mins when I clicked on your video, but I couldn't turn it off. It was epic! Congratulations on both your achievement in the race and your achievement with this documentary. 💪 👏
Thanks a lot Jim! 🙌 stoked you enjoyed it 🙏 was a heck if an adventure!
hi Rafael, i really want to thank you for documenting this. i live for work on aruba myself (original from NL) and wanted to apply for the utmb. so you really are a inspiring person at this moment for me ! thanks! what a great movie!
Thanks a lot Paul! Stoked you enjoyed the film! We are not too far then haha im in the Bahamas now. UTMB is a great adventure 🙌 go for it 💪
Crazy adventure and amazing video. Hands down the best utmb or other 100 miler documentary I've ever seen!
Thanks so much Bobby! Stoked you enjoyed it!
It was worth the wait. It was fantastic to re-live the adventure through your eyes. Thanks for all the effort in capturing the landscapes and the moments. Congratulations on completing the lap. All the best for the next adventures!
Thanks a lot Alex! Really appreciated! Was a heck of an adventure. Learned a lot about myself during that lap. Hopefully more adventures to come 🙌
this was just an awesome movie of utmb, best one so far, and ive watched many of em. gz for finishing!
Waw thanks so much! Really touching 🙏 there are so many great films on UTMB, I feel honored that this is your favorite!
@@rafaelhidalgo somehow the film just takes you really deep into it. as watcher without knowing how the race will end, its cool to watch. For some reason whole first half i got the feeling that you never gonna make it, but then, all the sudden i started to see that you actually gonna finish and started to excite about the cut offs 😊💪
@@anttil.13 fantastic! So happy i could convey these feelings! It’s not easy. Thanks so much for the feedback and support 🙏
Amazing Rafael, your documentary took us with you on your journey, I had goose bumps watching! Congratulations on your incredible adventure!
Thanks so much Adam!! Super happy you enjoyed it!
Congratulazioni, mi auguro sia da stimolo per me che alla prima difficolta mi fermo.grazie per questa testimonianza, vederti correre con le fasce alle gambe mi ha commosso,e quando hai ricordato i tuoi che non ci sono più,bhe, brividi,e ho capito dove prendevi la forza per arrivare alla fine...sei un grande,davvero...grazie.
Grazie mille per le vostre parole gentili, significa molto! Non arrendetevi mai.
Rafael, Firstly heartfelt congratulations on successfully completing your incredible journey. Secondly, thank you for time and effort you invested in creating such an outstanding video. It undoubtedly stands out as the best documentation of the race that I've watched. Your storytelling made me feel like I was right there with you every step of the way. Even though I knew beforehand that you crossed the finishing line, you still managed to immerse me in the thrill and dread of the approaching cut-offs. Well done, remarkable job! Cheers Davey 👍
Thanks so much Davey! It’s heartwarming to read such great feedback. It indeed took me more time to produce the film than to run the actual race. Thanks again for following 🙏
"Short term pain for long term gain" is pretty much the main point of what Jesus was teaching when he said "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” - Matthew 11:28-30. Basically means, do the hard thing now, and you will find it easier in the long run. Great words to live by and to teach kids. Keep up the good, hard work man.
Amen to that. We have much more to learn than we think from biblical stories and mythology. Those people knew a lot more than we know now. Thanks for sharing, powerful verse indeed 🙏
Powerful stuff Rafael. Congratulations on so many levels, the race, the documentary, the journey - and all of the growth!!!
Thanks a lot Ben! Stoked you enjoyed! And really appreciate the support!
Hands down one of the best UTMB film!
I can see myself a couple of times at the start line, just behind you!
I also saw my parents cheering you in the last 100m before the finish line!
Huge congratulations! This film truly show what UTMB is all about!
Thanks so much Marc-Antoine! Awesome to have shared this moment with you!! Thanks to your parents for the cheering !!
Genuinely great storytelling! Properly detailed insight into this amazing race. Well done man.
Thanks a lot! Really appreciate it! Took me longer to produce the film than to complete the race haha

Thanks a lot!!!

Great UTMB video and awesome you finished. Kudos to you for such mental strength. Bring on 2024!
Thanks a lot Steve! 2023 will be difficult to beat but I will sure line up my fair share of pilgrimages in 2024. We always need a period to disconnect from the routine and reconnect with our true selves.
@@rafaelhidalgo Yes, we do indeed.
Congrats and I’m impressed with your tough mind…Best UTMB video. Supporting you since the beginning😀.
Thanks a lot! It was beyond the strength of the mind it was the power of the soul 🤩
Bravo Rafael! Brilliant film - thank you for sharing your story with us all!
Thanks Anastasia! Stoked you enjoyed it! It was well worth the effort 🙏
i admit, i cried when you finally reached the finish line! you worked so hard and i know your daughters are so proud of you! 👏🏽 🎉
@@anastasiafua awwwww thank you! I cried as well as I was producing that part 🥲
Fantastic video. I was just behind you at the start. UTMB is an amazing experience.
Ah waw really?! Super cool! What a coincidence!!!
You earned a HUGE like from me already after 6.5 minutes of the video! Now I will continue enjoying it! Important message and inspiring video as well! 😉
Thanks a lot mate! Super happy you are enjoying it! Hope the rest will continue living up to expectations 🙌
@@rafaelhidalgo OMG! What an amazing video. I did finish the race in 2017 and I relived the race with this video! Thanx m8! I had to DNF in 2023 due to digestive issues and hopefully will be able to race this year. We'll see. Anyhow, congrats! Amazing achievement and spectacular video! Great job!!!
@@aramis.sasinka sorry to hear you had to pull out in 2023 … stoked you enjoyed the film though 🙌 fingers crossed you can make it happen this year! Thanks again for watching and dropping a few lines 🙏
Watched every minute, loved every second. Great video, chapeau to you sir
Thanks so much for your kind words and taking time to drop a line! stoked you enjoyed it!! :)
Brilliant film Rafael! I'm doing CCC if I get through the lottery this month, I'm scared of a 100k, never mind 100 mile. Super well done.
Thanks a lot Stephen! Good luck with the draw! That’s great if 100k scares you: if it doesn’t then the goal is not big enough 😆 enjoy the ride!
Thanks for the post. I run for my kids, and this is my 5th year trying to get I. Best of luck
Fantastic! Bravo! You too are running with a purpose! Never give up 💪
Thank you Rafael for this nice video. I learnt a lot of things for my 1st UTMB next August.
Thanks for watching!
Congratulations and a great documentary
Thanks a lot Shaun!
Incredible race and even more incredible video. You are talented and hard working guy. Hate to be long winded but maybe this will be a testament to your adventure and sharing with us and the power that has. I had a great season in 2023…2 marathons, a 50 miler, and a 50k but left me injured. I am now in the midst of doing the majority of my training at the gym on an elliptical. I am grateful to do that but it’s not the same. Today I grinded out my “long run” on the elliptical and your documentary was definitely bringing so much joy and encouragement. Thank you for this.
Thanks a lot Megan! Really appreciate your message! It warms my heart! Sorry to hear about your injury… hope it gets better soon so you can go back out there and crush it! Try and stay positive, not easy but do your best 🙌 sounds like you had a great 2023 season nevertheless 💪 thanks for following 🙏
Sensacional!!!
Gracias!!
Lovely Documentary . Thanks for sharing
Thanks!!

Just registered UTMB CCC. First time run 100K. You video is great.
Thanks!! Congrats on CCC!! Good luck!
Merci et bravo. Le message est clair et motivant. Pas sympa de nous faire pleurer quand même....
Merci Richard!! T’inquiète j’ai aussi pleuré pendant la course et en faisant le montage du film 😉 merci d’avoir pris le temps de visionner le film 🙏
Congratulations again Rafael, on the race and the video series very well made -- this was an excellent final chapter of your UTMB story. This brought some memories! I remember how you run by me on the way to Refugio Bonatti, you were on fire! We were roughly on the same timeline in the second half of the race, but I somehow never felt much fear of the cutoffs, maybe I was just too tired to worry about that 😅. Anyway, epic journey, and you were a great ambassador for your charity of choice. Are you planning any other interesting races? If you are ever in Boston, ping me, would love to catch up!
Thanks a lot Ilya! Haha yeah it’s true you were also close to the time barriers. I think i felt it because i left too late in coyrmayeur and they called the 15 min time. Then the girl in bertone…
This year starting with desert rats 100k in april.
Nice one Rafael, a real inspiration!
Thanks a lot Patrick!
Merci Raphaël pour ce merveilleux film sur l'utmb...un des plus beaux réalisé que jai pu regarder... encore bravo pour cette performance magnifique et pour ce fantastique montage vidéo...un grand merci a toi et encore félicitations pour ta performance...merci Raphaël

Great video and lovely words. Even spotted myself twice spectating at Col Du Montet and Chamonix.
Thanks! Awesome! Which one are you?
@@rafaelhidalgo I am the one in the black T shirt on the way up to Col De Montet talking to the guy in the orange vest. In Chamonix I am standing near the dinosaurs in the "Shut Up Legs" t shirt.
@@Mr1spookster awesome mate!! So cool that in such a long race with so many people we were not far apart
