Located in the heart of the Alps, the UTMB World Series Finals draws runners from every corner of the planet to compete across a series of distances in and around Chamonix, France. The 20th anniversary of the race saw Americans Courtney Dauwalter and Jim Walmsley claim the prestigious title, while thousands of other runners realised their dreams on this tough, mountainous course.

In celebration of the race, UK-based photographer David Miller has shared twenty of his favourite photos from UTMB 2023.

Notre Dame de la Gorge has a reputation for its unique and wild atmosphere. It marks the end of the road and start of the mountain trails for the runners.

Blood, sweat and tears isn’t just a chiché during UTMB.

Make of it what you will. Maybe a good luck message or a see you back in Chamonix?

Grand Col Ferret is an alpine pass which marks the highest point on the UTMB course and also the Italian/Swiss border.

The emotion in ultra-running is there for all to see. Sometimes you just need to look a little bit harder.
