Walmsley Part 2 Presented by Wahoo + HOKA

The UTMB may be the Superbowl of ultra running. It draws large immense crowds and can be compared to the Boston Marathon for its international acclaim. The UTMB or the Ultra Trail de Mont Blanc takes place every year in August in Chamonix, in the French Alps.

Over the last 15 years, this has been the hallmark race where the best athletes from around the world show up to test themselves against not only each other but the demands of the course. Unfortunately, over the years, American men have not been able to perform to their potential. Could this year be a turning point in all of this? Will Jim be the first American Male to win Ultra Trail Mont Blanc?

"Home is where you base your emotions" - I have never heard that before but it's the best description I have ever heard!

[scriptosaurusrex]

Jim just seems like such a sound guy.
I was really pleased to hear how much they are trying to integrate, learn the language etc.
This is great. Didn't work out for him with the win after the long lead, but hey he finished - and fourth at that!

So glad that Jim feels at home in France. We are so lucky to have him. I hope he will win UTMB 2023!

This is the best Jim Walmsley film I’ve watched. Great to see him and Jess enjoying life in France whilst preparing for one of his biggest challenges.

[WayneWBishop]

This is about as relaxed as I’ve seen Jim in any video. France seems to suit him well. Bonne chance sur Vendredi au UTMB! 🇫🇷

the most insane part of this entire vid is his beer flex with heady topper and bearded iris

[jamesgoddard]

One of the best running videos I’ve watched (and I’ve watched them all). Chapeau

[Dee]

This vid series was really good. Great to see them both enjoying this adventure. Hope everything goes well tomorrow, Jim!

[Amigo]

I would love to see Jim win UTMB this year, he inspires so many people including me. Go Jim, we're always with you!

[iPondR]

Regardless of the result... Jim's on the right track. Thanks for this great video! Made me smile so many times... & chuckle too...

[jonathansandberg]

Good call on the Heady Topper. I bet that’s extra hard to get over there.

[cyber_cowpoke]

I am so pumped to watch Jim this weekend!! Good luck my friend!! 🏃🏻‍♂️

[popopopo]

still remember jim's first signing up for WSER.. he said no lights and packs..

now here in this video, he started to acclimate with the packs, lights, poles, layers and jackets..

to all jim's fans, yes, you all could be pumped up for this...

[johnaheywood]

Great video...Great person/runner and supportive wife....GOOD LUCK Jim we'll be watching you at the finish

[jpascaltaipei]

Such a lovely couple! Amazed, touched and impressed by their attitude. Tu vas gagner cette année Jim!

[paulkim]

Mountain 🏔️ is a great teacher of LIFE (besides UTMB and other races) and wish you all the best Jim!! 🙏 Carpe Diem ~^^ 😊

[ignacioinder]

AWESOME reference to Sandlot. You tha man Jimbo!

[Fitbrit]

Jims wife is an angel. So supportive and caring. Bless them both

[quitethevoyeur]

This is just fab. I watched it after the horrifically slick Salomon training camp video and this gets everything right that that gets wrong, notably focusing on the mundane, human moments

[dbk]

Waited until after UTMB to watch this, can’t wait to see what another year in the mountains does for you. Hope you stick with it.
