- The UTMB may be the Superbowl of ultra running. It draws large immense crowds and can be compared to the Boston Marathon for its international acclaim. The UTMB or the Ultra Trail de Mont Blanc takes place every year in August in Chamonix, in the French Alps.
Over the last 15 years, this has been the hallmark race where the best athletes from around the world show up to test themselves against not only each other but the demands of the course. Unfortunately, over the years, American men have not been able to perform to their potential. Could this year be a turning point in all of this? Will Jim be the first American Male to win Ultra Trail Mont Blanc?

"Home is where you base your emotions" - I have never heard that before but it's the best description I have ever heard!
So true! Thought exactly the same.
It is exactly the same meaning from the very famous poet (Su Shi) almost 1000 years ago. “此心安处是吾乡”. Some wisdom is universal regardless language, culture, and even time.
Home is where the heart is. One of the best songs by The Sounds 👌
the most insane part of this entire vid is his beer flex with heady topper and bearded iris
So glad that Jim feels at home in France. We are so lucky to have him. I hope he will win UTMB 2023!
This is the best Jim Walmsley film I’ve watched. Great to see him and Jess enjoying life in France whilst preparing for one of his biggest challenges.
Jim just seems like such a sound guy.
I was really pleased to hear how much they are trying to integrate, learn the language etc.
This is great. Didn't work out for him with the win after the long lead, but hey he finished - and fourth at that!
This is about as relaxed as I’ve seen Jim in any video. France seems to suit him well. Bonne chance sur Vendredi au UTMB! 🇫🇷
Mountain 🏔️ is a great teacher of LIFE (besides UTMB and other races) and wish you all the best Jim!! 🙏 Carpe Diem ~^^ 😊
It's crazy to see how badly Jim wants to win the UTMB. He was willing to relocate to France to acclimate to elements, that's how much winning that race means to him. Hope he gets it this time
I thought it was so he doesn’t get lost
still remember jim's first signing up for WSER.. he said no lights and packs..
now here in this video, he started to acclimate with the packs, lights, poles, layers and jackets..
to all jim's fans, yes, you all could be pumped up for this...
Jim said he didn't need a light because he was going to finish before dark. He was playing with his competitors bragging how fast he is going to run.
Good call on the Heady Topper. I bet that’s extra hard to get over there.
Make all us Jims proud, Jim! 🥳
Moving there and being forced to run slower is going to make this guy even faster once back in the states. The MJ of Ultra Running. Just needs his own shoe!
I would love to see Jim win UTMB this year, he inspires so many people including me. Go Jim, we're always with you!
Jims wife is an angel. So supportive and caring. Bless them both
One of the best running videos I’ve watched (and I’ve watched them all). Chapeau
"Jim don't be Jim"
This reminds me of Andrew Wheating, Nick Symmonds, Galen Rupp, Ryan Hall and their pursuit for Olympic Gold, their pursuits to win the "Big race" whatever that race may be.
Jim wins this year, I'm not betting on it, I'm proclaiming it.
Prove me right Jim, so I don't have to go back and delete this comment 😜
Well dang.
He’s moving up each uear
Jim will win once Kilian and Francoise go in retirement; no fair competition
@@damononthehill haha
This is just fab. I watched it after the horrifically slick Salomon training camp video and this gets everything right that that gets wrong, notably focusing on the mundane, human moments
Regardless of the result... Jim's on the right track. Thanks for this great video! Made me smile so many times... & chuckle too...
Great video...Great person/runner and supportive wife....GOOD LUCK Jim we'll be watching you at the finish
AWESOME reference to Sandlot. You tha man Jimbo!
Waited until after UTMB to watch this, can’t wait to see what another year in the mountains does for you. Hope you stick with it.
I love the Sandlot reference! Good luck buddy!
I am so pumped to watch Jim this weekend!! Good luck my friend!! 🏃🏻♂️
This was a great watch and made me super jealous of that freedom to be out doors and take those views in
Currently watching UTMB as Jim is leading the race!! Preparation Pays!!
This vid series was really good. Great to see them both enjoying this adventure. Hope everything goes well tomorrow, Jim!
Jims wife is an angel. So supportive and caring. Bless them both. Jims wife is an angel. So supportive and caring. Bless them both.

Love the Sandlot reference!!!

“We’ll give them hell next year”

What a film. Epic, cheers Wahoo. And Jim is just such a legend.
Such a lovely couple! Amazed, touched and impressed by their attitude. Tu vas gagner cette année Jim!
I am really glad to see that your few months in France went well, I sincerely hope that you'll have the run that you came for! Good luck and have fun!
Let's go Walmsley - you got this!
My local farmer's market needs some of that fresh pasta and ravioli.
How are you getting Heady out there?!?! Saw you with bottle of Pliny after the Hardrock FKT attempt. Excellent beer choices and will be cheering for you tomorrow!
Such another great video ! 👏🏼 Good luck Jim on your UTMB 22 🤞🏼
pumped with all this videos of athletes showing in youtube before running the UTMB...
there is also pau capell north face breaking 20 docu..
good luck to all runners especially if one of them is favored to win it all by the media/fans...
my prediction is he is going to crush it
This time Jim! 🔥🔥🔥
Man with Nature~ such Love and effort.
wow, nice film... love this. Jim is an enigma and we can't get enough of him. Thanks for this!
Jim, bonne course. Et n’oublie pas de manger les œufs des poules de Noel avant, ça te donnera de la force !
Heady Topper in the French chalet. Nice.
Nicely done guys. Great film and will be cheering Jim on this weekend
Jim looks like he is home
Really beautiful to see this guys journey and evolution 🙏
Jim an Jess just look like they are having so much fun. Moving outside your comfort zone is ways you didn't expect. Good on ya for trying new things and finding ways to make it work for you!! Inspirational!
This little series was so so good
So epic! Go get it Jim!!!
„We‘ll give them hell next year.“ - JIM
I appreciate the Sandlot reference

Love the personal story and element to this video! Great film!!!
Cool video. Dude at 11:50 is wearing a Freestyle Libre!
Loved this! Wonderful film - Jim is great for the sport!
Such a motivational and inspiring piece. Nice!
My biggest question is how did you get Heady Topper to France?! If you win this year, I’ll send you a fresh batch! Loved the video and Jim and Jess seem like they’re in a good place in life. Wishing him all the best for a great day out there.
Good friends 😉
I had the same question. Good taste!
Heady Topper! Way to go, very cool!
Jim ……….. what about pizza’s 🍕 ? You mentioned pasta, but not pizza ? 😮. In flagstaff, you were the pizza guy. Best of Luck this weekend 🏃♂️👍🙂.
Magnificent video, magnificent location, magnificent couple, magnificent runner. The NO 1 awaits some time soon Jim.
Let’s go Jim!!

Loved this. PS: does anyone know which hat Jim is running in? I love how much room it has for his bun in the back, would love something like that
I think it's the Hoka Performance Hat!
Brilliant
Good on ya Jim
Heady Topper!!
Good luck, Jim!
The Union Jack 🇬🇧 toilet seat represents being “Sat on the throne”. 👸 Slang for being sat on the toilet 🚽
😂😂
Hi, does the sole of the shoe has some kind of holes, channels where potencial water can escape? or the sole is solid, without channels and can use in wet surface to keep my socks dry :)
How can you watch the race online?
I just love these little films. So amped for Jim and Jess. Please keep them coming. It's inspiring in soooooo many ways🌈🌈🌈
Hard not to love the guy
Anyone know what hydration vest that is?
What vest and quiver is that?!
❤️
Letsgoooo
Heady Topper in La France????
anyone know what shorts he's wearing 7:25+ ?
Lamentablemente no le activaron los subtitulos al español
How’d you secure the Heady???
good friends!
he will do it. probably not this year, but in the years to come. for this year, i just hope he arrives and doesn't get tempted to do any crazy things. if he learns to rein himself in and approach things more strategically, anything is possible.
Headdy Topper, what?!?
👍🏻☀💚
Heady Topper!?!?!?
Were those Texton X’s or Torrents?
Pretty sure is the Texton X
@@mgmiguel14 love that shoe!
How you got Heady Topper in France?!
