Euronews went to Chamonix, the Mecca of trail running in France, to show you, from the inside, a race from the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB) circuit.

The CCC is a unique challenge that, since its inception as the 'little sister' of the UTMB race, has grown to become one the world's most prestigious ultratrails.

With a total distance of 101km and 6100m of positive ascent, the CCC crosses three countries and gets its name from the initials of three key locations: Courmayer, the starting point in Italy, Champex, the middle point in Switzerland, and Chamonix, the finish line in France.

Follow the adventure in the video above.
