Our Story
About UltraAlp: Who We Are
At UltraAlp, we are more than just runners—we are explorers of the human mind and body. Nestled in the French Alps, we are deeply passionate about trail running, ultramarathons, and the uncharted terrains both on the mountains and within ourselves. Over the years, we’ve pushed our physical limits, conquered grueling trails, and embraced the unrelenting challenge of endurance sports. But as we’ve grown, our curiosity has extended far beyond physical performance.
We’ve become captivated by the psychological, mental, and neurological effects that running and exercise have on the brain. For us, running isn’t just a sport—it’s a gateway to enhanced mental clarity, emotional resilience, and a profound sense of connection to both ourselves and the world around us. The phenomenon of the “runner’s high” isn’t just an elusive feeling to chase—it’s a fascinating, scientifically backed neurological state that holds the potential to transform everyday life.
Our Mission
Our mission at UltraAlp is to open the world’s eyes to the incredible benefits that running and exercise can bring to the brain and mind. We aim to shift the conversation about running from a purely physical endeavor to one that embraces its profound mental and emotional rewards. Whether it’s improving focus, building confidence, managing stress, or tapping into the euphoria of a runner’s high, we believe these benefits are accessible to everyone—not just seasoned athletes.
We envision a world where people harness the transformative power of running and movement to elevate their lives, not just in terms of fitness, but in their mental health, personal growth, and overall happiness.
What Drives Us
• A Passion for Running: Whether on rugged mountain trails, quiet forest paths, or endless urban streets, we live and breathe the joy of running.
• Curiosity About the Mind: We’re endlessly fascinated by how movement impacts the brain—how it rewires neural pathways, sparks creativity, and fosters mental resilience.
• The Desire to Share: Our goal is to inspire and educate others about the hidden potential within themselves, unlocked through the simple act of running.
Our Philosophy
We believe that running is for everyone, whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been lacing up your shoes for decades. At UltraAlp, we celebrate runners of all levels and encourage a mindset that prioritizes discovery, growth, and connection over competition. Our approach combines passion, science, and personal experience to help others explore the untapped power of movement.
UltraAlp is more than a brand—it’s a community, a philosophy, and a way of life. Whether you’re looking for clarity on the trail, balance in your daily life, or a deeper connection to your own mind, we’re here to help you unlock the incredible potential of running and movement. This is who we are. This is UltraAlp.

UTMB 2024 Events
260 charity bibs available for runners who wish to take part in the UTMB World Series Finals — the UTMB, CCC and OCC races of the DACIA UTMB Mont-Blanc.
Through the UTMB Cares endowment fund, runners with charity bibs can support the charity of their choice and become an ambassador for their cause. For the supported charities, it's a chance to benefit from donations that will enable them to carry out projects in a wide variety of fields.
The DACIA UTMB Mont-Blanc, its organizers and the association Les Amis de l'UTMB Mont-Blanc are driven by the mountain spirit and the desire to help everyone achieve their own personal victories. Since 2003, a strong spirit of solidarity has been at the heart of the event. Last year €356,000 was raised for select charities through the charity bibs.
