At UTMB 2026, the 107-mile long race was delayed by two hours, with part of the course re-routed as a thunderstorm arrived at the time of the scheduled start.

Blandine L’Hirondel won UTMB 2026 wearing Kiprun Kipsummit Race equipped with a Vibram Megagrip Litebase sole.

At the Chamonix expo, Vibram set up a mobile resole lab, presented as able to replace the outsoles of a pair of shoes.

The text also notes that runners could bring their shoes to the lab so technicians could replace the outsoles.
