Ultra-Trail Du Mont Blanc (UTMB): Finisher Numbers and Analysis Per Country

The charts below show the amount of finishers per country in the top 100, top 50 and top 10 at the 2013 UTMB.

In the Men's top 100 24 countries were represented but amazingly in the Women's 27 countries had representation in the top 100. As expected, France largely dominated followed by Spain. Honours for 3rd spot is always wide open with local countries like Italy or Switzerland fairing well. However, in the Men's field Italy and Germany had low representation which allowed Great Britain to have a hugely impressive year with 11 guys in the top 100. This really shows what we all expected- Great Britain is experiencing a huge Ultra boom that has ultimately made the top end faster.

For the Women, again it was France and Spain but third is a lot more subjective. The American women did a great job and obviously had the star of the show but Italy, making up for the poor men's showing, had great representation in the top 100 with 9 whilst Great Britain had 10.

Overall, I think it is astonishing how many countries have someone in the top 100. A truly international and world class event. These numbers give the Brits something to shoot at next year. Get training!
