UTMB Addresses Our Travel Fee/Carbon Fee Concerns

Fabrice Perrin, UTMB's Chief of Sport and Sustainability, heard our Bad Runners Take, where we largely celebrated UTMB but also critiqued the new mandatory Travel Fee for 2026, initially applied to runners traveling to the Chamonix Main Event.

UTMB creates strong demand for their event, only to impose a variable fee that increases with travel distance, impacting runners coming from farther away.

Is it greenwashing? Fabrice responds.
