Since the UTMB 2018 and a wasp sting that forced him to give up, Kilian Jornet has not taken the start of an ultra trail. A two-year anomaly that should soon end according to L'Equipe.
The triple winner of the Ultra trail du Mont-Blanc will race in the next Ultra-Pirineu, at home, in the Pyrenees. A 100 km race, with 6,600 meters of elevation gain, to take place around Bagà, on the Spanish side of the massif.
The Catalan athlete will not run in unknown territory since he has already won the event in 2012 and 2015.
