Mont Blanc Marathon and Mont Blanc Cross – 28th and 29th June
By Chalet la Foret • May 22nd, 2008 • Category: Chamonix EventsWe’ll be running the Mont Blanc Cross this year – 21 km of uphill – from Chamonix to Argentiere and then on to Brevent. I suspect we’ll be walking a lot of it but it’s a great spectacle – you can usually see the runners streaming along the track by the river, if you stand on the balcony of the chalet. It’s worth going for a walk along the course though, as there’s generally a good atmosphere, drinks and barbecues and so on.
The marathon runners take a long and amazingly scenic route around the Chamonix valley:

Should be a great day – we’re training hard!
