OCC Recap, CCC Live Reaction, & UTMB Preview with Dani, Emkay & Francesco

Welcome to Day 5 of Good Morning, Mont Blanc. This is the inaugural year of Freetrail’s daily morning show, kicking off with the 20th anniversary of the Ultra Trail Mont Blanc (UTMB), the most important global event in the sport of trail running. The show is hosted each day by professional athlete, Dylan Bowman.   Dylan is joined on Day 5 by OCC racers Dani Moreno, EmKay Sullivan and Francesco Puppi, who all had wildly different race experiences and outcomes.   Francesco had an incredible race at OCC, placing second overall. Both Dani and EmKay had tough days and didn’t finish.   Everyone talks about their races and the OCC course and race results in general. Then they pivot to watching and commentating on CCC live, and finally provide their preview for UTMB, which starts at 6pm tonight.   Make sure you tune in.   Freetrail Fantasy Make sure you play Freetrail Fantasy and pick 10 deep for both men and women for each participating race (OCC, CCC and UTMB). Go get your picks in. Make sure to stay tuned for the rest of the Good Morning, Mont Blanc shows this week where we will be doing race previews for all three races, and interviews with top contenders.    Fantasy Prizes We have amazing prizes for Freetrail Fantasy this week. 10 winners will receive head to toe Hoka kits including footwear, a CamelBak Zephyr pack, Ketone shots from HVMN, and Freetrail swag.

Outside of footwear, the pack is the most critical piece of running gear and you’ll see a bunch of people trusting CamelBak throughout race week out on the trails around the Mont Blanc.
