We notice that the OCC course has changed and got longer, and with just over a month to go till race day it got us thinking, we’ve heard of lots of Aussies that will be at UTMB this year, so let’s ask and found out who will be there and who’s running which distance.

So let us know if you’ll be in Chamonix in August and what distance you’re doing !!!
