Let our Volunteers speak!

« My most memorable experience as a volunteer for the Nice Côte d'Azur by UTMB was when I helped Julien, a 100K runner, overcome his desire to give up. He was discouraged and didn't think he was up to the challenge. But after an inspiring discussion, he regained his determination and finished the race. It was a lesson in courage that still resonates with me.»

« My motivation to volunteer? To give runners a chance to recharge their batteries at the refreshment points, to be comforted and encouraged.»

«My greatest joy? Seeing runners set off again to continue their race with a smile on their faces.»

Pascale Garriti

« I loved the great atmosphere and solidarity among the volunteers at the Nice Côte d'Azur by UTMB. I took great pleasure and satisfaction in helping extraordinary people achieve their dream! »

Jean-Pierre Vestri

« I've already taken part in several editions of the HOKA UTMB Mont-Blanc as a volunteer. Having moved to Nice, I naturally continued with the local event: the Nice Côte d'Azur by UTMB and I'm looking forward to doing it again for the 2024 edition! »
