This video from the Chamonix Club des sports, although in French, gives us a superb view of the epic runners event here in Chamonix.

The Marathon du Mont Blanc weekend is comprised of not just the marathon but also includes the Cross du Mont Blanc, the 10km ‘Découverte’ run and the latest addition the Vertical Kilometre.

This video features aerial views of the (literal) high and lows of the Chamonix marathon as well as a number of interviews with ultra-athlete Kilian Jornet.
