Masha’s UTMB Nice 100KM Journey in the French Riviera

Join us in Nice, France, for one of the most scenic — and toughest — races of the UTMB World Series! 🏃‍♀️
In this episode, Masha takes on the UTMB Nice Côte d’Azur 100KM, a race filled with challenging climbs, stunning coastal views, and emotional highs and lows.

After arriving in Nice, we enjoyed the atmosphere of the city, picked up the bib number, and headed to a charming village nearby for the night before the race. The next morning, the real adventure began.

Masha pushed hard through 52 kilometers of technical terrain and steep elevation, but when motivation faded and the body began to protest, we made the toughest call a runner can make — to stop before risking injury. Because sometimes, knowing when to stop is the smartest victory of all.
