Running the Tour du Mont Blanc in 4 Nights

Storyline: The Tour Du Mont Blanc is one of the most popular and scenic long-distance routes in Europe. It passes through France, Italy and Switzerland while circumnavigating the Mont Blanc Massif, a distance of more than 170 km with 10,000 metres of elevation gain, plus descent. It's typically hiked in 10 or 11 days, but we'd be spending just 4 nights on the trail while travelling fast and light. This would be a training run for us in preparation for UTMB, a race that follows roughly the same route less than 3 weeks later. During the race we'd miss some of the best views while running at night, so this was our chance to really enjoy all that this incredible trail has to offer.
