What a journey! Francois and Courtney are on another planet! I hope you enjoy this "behind the scenes" UTMB race vlog as I continue to gather footage here in CHamonix on Sunday for the BIG UTMB production. THANK YOU DGR for all the support from around the world , could not be doing this without all of you! Let's keep turning that doorknob together, and filming along the way.

[@TheJCP006]

Seth, are you going to do another livestream before heading back to the US.

[@donalddarko3676]

Give us the goods already seth I know you got the goods on that cinematic quality video coming. I'm itching for it. 🔥

"You think you're in shape until you run with a camera"...after a glass of wine. Cool family support to Francois. "Allez Papa, salut mon fils". Merci Seth for the amazing work.

[@julien7705]

So cute to see Francois’ s son « allez papa !!! » thanks so much Seth!! 🇫🇷 🇺🇸

[@thirdculturemama]

A masterpiece snapshot of a day in the life at UTMB. Just wow, loved this. Thanks for fitting us in despite the insanity of your week, and being so gracious to welcome kids on a group run: unbelievable. The kids left so inspired, set up a race course as soon as we arrived home. Send our greetings to the fam at home who can't wait to welcome you home. Ask them if they would ever fancy playing with our three while you run OCC next year. We'll pick you up from the correct airport, serve you all the coffee you want, show you our fav trails and cook proper food! Bon voyage!

[@JacobJames8]

Seth these UTMB videos are outstanding, Kudos to you for consistently working hard to put out great content. Just accumulated enough points to enter UTMB for 2022 (hopefully if the ballot is in my favor). Your content makes turning the doorknob to get to Chamonix all the more worth it.

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

CONGRATS JACOB! I'm confident you will get in!

[@TheChessRunner]

Congratz. You already must have done some epic races then!

Thanks for being a member Pat!!

[@alex_ultra_trails]

At 11:15 it’s so sweet you can see Francois’s son saying « come on daddy » with so much enthusiasm, you can tell he genuinely was encouraging him as much as we could!

[@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183]

QD: 12 mi LR down from 18 last weekend; only a couple more very long runs to go before taper for Boston (18 and 20 mi next 2 weekends)! Nailing down the fuel/hydration has been my biggest concern, but I’ll still have to be able to pivot according to the weather at the race. Thank you so much for these beautiful and inspiring videos from UTMB. Seeing Courtney cross the finish line just before I left home for my LR was mental fuel for yesterday! Martha

[@ultrarunneradam]

‘Allez Papa’ such a great moment - well done Seth ☝️☝️☝️☝️

[@andrearosco]

Seth thanks for sacrificing your family, your sleep, your recovery after pikes peak, your video equipment, your nerves, your americano coffee, … to bring us this kind of content! There are no words to express the gratitude to you and to your family and the inspiration you bring with your daily vlogs. I know this all is not easy to coordinate but - please - you have to know how much your DGR family appreciate your work. We keep watching, you keep uploading! Love you Seth.

[@dannymontes4110]

The little boy reminds me of my son cheering me at some races, and to me is a very valiable moment. Thank you very much Seth! for your extraordinary coverage.

[@robbiegalbo2363]

The UTMB videos just keep getting better and better by the day. Your coverage is outstanding. Thank you for taking the time, which I’m sure is extensive, to create such wonderful videos for all of DGR to enjoy.

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

oh man, I appreciate that, trying. one day at a time :doorknob: (we need)

[@carolineeastburn9355]

Fantastic coverage! Way to make the most off ALL the situations into which you landed! 🤓 Great job catching scenery, the race atmosphere, and Racers’ EMOTIONS! 🙏🏼

[@mymanbee]

Good weekend of running. Ran a 24 race that had 4 hours cut off due to lightning. Still managed 81.5 miles. Onward and upward! Great video!!

[@ericchevalley]

So glad you had a good time with the local folks. It's a tradition to drink wine and pass along the small glass of wine in the group. The small glass of wine is part of the normal attire when going in the mountains. It is usually stored inside a small container to keep it safe. The fondue is also a typical dish to cook on a gas stove high up on the trail or while camping up there. You got the real insider experience! 👌

[@NoNo-sr6qx]

Bravo pour le passage avec François et Jim et le petit garçon de François. Très beau passage.

[@phillippacrews7385]

Seth, your story telling is next level. The commentary, the cinematography and the editing - all set against the backdrop of Mont Blanc Massif. Just glorious and it's left me longing for more 👍🇫🇷

[@marlinweekley51]

Jim - no poles? And worse no bucket hat! 🤪👍🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️great video work Seth

[@ivanmanzanilla]

Great one Seth, thank you! I was going to say the same thing, it is beautiful to see those children crossing the finish line with their parents. Yesterday I ran my longest distance ever (16k). As a mature aficionado I rejoice in the beauty of the process of learning something new (running hahaha) and the motivation from you and all those amazing athletes. Have a safe trip back home.

[@janetduback5161]

Seth thank you for all your hard work. No one films a race like you do.

[@dansouth2088]

Thank you for the fantastic coverage of UTMB. So glad you had this experience and we all can't wait to root you on when you decide to race there!!

[@JP11277]

Nothing like starting your day with a little after your morning run! Make it a great day everyone!

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

[@SarahOdeh]

As always, such wonderful, beautiful coverage. I miss Europe so much right now! Thank you for bringing us a little piece of the EU. QOD: My long run was meant to be 20 miles on Saturday followed by 8 on Sunday, but the smoke and heat in the Bay Area got to me and wore we down. After nearly passing out, I had to bail after 12 miles on Saturday, and I climbed down the mountain feeling defeated and incredibly frustrated. Then I was reminded that my body is still recovering from my 50k the previous week and to be patient. I got back on Sunday, completed 16 miles, and while not what planned, am happy with my overall mileage this weekend!

[@karinjessop1046]

Pikes Peak Double recovery weekend - ran a 5K with my kids yesterday and PR'd without even trying. Nothing beats running with your children - I am always inspired and simply can't believe I gave birth to these lovely things running next to me.

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

Nice Karin!!

“Allez, Papa!” Awww my heart!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@ronhendricks4130]

Almost made it to Switzerland a couple years ago for a trail race but first grandchild came along and as you would agree Seth that is much more important to be around for! Also another one came along last year so will probably never make it over there, but thats OK. Just you being there and doing such a great job of filming it all makes me feel like I did finally get to experience it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[@michaelgohner6031]

Thank you guy for doing all this to send us so beautiful footage from the Swiss Alps! And some runners ... And some shoes ... I made yesterday a 31-km-run (with about 600 m elevation). At the end of a tapering week I felt so strong that I smashed almost every record on my watch. So great to see the progress I made this year. And as a reward for a endurance run with load below race pace. Thank you coach!

[@lrbtechie]

“Ale Pappa!” Absolutely love it!! QD - had to do a mountain half marathon after my DNF at PPM to regain my confidence!

[@robertburpee9473]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the work you put in for us. The vlogs are just outstanding, your video skills & choices of music are just so good & on display for all to see. I & I’m sure the whole DGR family feel very lucky indeed. DGR STRONG

[@tizonsantiago]

Seth, great coverage ! About your coffee: the pot you have at you rental apt. is called a moka pot. Unscrew the bottom half. Remove the metal filter (looks like a funnel) and pour water up to the nipple on the side of the bottom half. Replace the filter. Fill the filter with very fine-ground coffee. Screw top half back on. Place on stove and set heat as to boil water. Heat will move water past the filter, through the coffee and up to the top half. When top container full, pour coffee. Enjoy a nice and decent cup ! Please no more instant coffee ;) All the best and keep it up !

[@jamiedalrymple3689]

Steady 15 miles done today part of my NYC marathon training. Just bought my 'Butter' t-shirt today 😊, love your work Seth ❤️✌️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@DMcC123]

Thanks Seth! And I thought your mountains in Colorado were beautiful! The Alps are another level.

[@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183]

I agree. I live in CO.& love the mountains, but I spent a month in a French immersion experience with a family in Chamonix when I was 14, and as an adult have been to Switzerland many times. The base-to-summit drama with the narrow, intimate valleys in the Alps take your breath away.

[@KentMearig]

I'm going to attempt 2 laps of out and back on the Herbert River trail here in Juneau, Alaska, for a total distance of about 18.4 miles. The first time I finished the same route, I ended up needing to go to the ER and get put on an IV...definitely hoping for a different feeling at the end of this run, and definitely planning for better hydration and fueling at the halfway point. Thanks, Seth, for the daily motivation to get out there and push the boundaries...in a smart way.

[@andrewnewman3137]

Good morning, DGR!

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

[@kerricappy4890]

Had a 33k this weekend just gone. Because we are in lockdown (again) here in Melbourne we can't hook up with our usual running groups so we are mostly on our own. Hubby said to me who are you going to meet today and I said I'm just gonna head out & see who I find. It only took me about 5k until I did come across some friends and we ran the next 17 or so k together which was great. I left them to have coffee and did the last 9k on my own which was torture but I got it done. We can only run within 5k of our home but it's amazing all the paths & trails I have discovered that I didn't know existed before. Thank God we can still run. It's got alot of people through during these ongoing lockdowns.

[@robertjohnson7247]

Seth, thank you for producing some amazing UTMB videos. The behind the scenes footage and cinematography is breathtaking. Keep up the brilliant work! Your videos really resonate with me and im already itching to turn that doorknob again, just a week after my marathon because of all of your videos!

[@RileyMcGurn]

With the live coverage of UTMB being so thorough and well done I thought I had seen it all! Incredible work Seth! Thank you for putting us on the trails, what a feeling. Hearing “Allez papa!!” Made my heart melt and gave me chills, one day I hope to participate in OCC/CCC has become a strong goal of mine. Thank you for inspiring us all and putting in some incredible work!

[@katkollies6986]

Loved this vlog, thanks, beautiful scenery and people everywhere you look. QD: don’t mind saying I ran 12 miles yesterday for the first time ever, I’m almost ready for my first half marathon ever, and will be 60 on my next birthday. Allez, allez!!

François is on fire this year with the Hard rock course record and the UTMB. Courtney made a history for Ultra women. Mathieu Blanchard is a French who moved to Montréal few years ago. Last year he did an Everesting in our local small mountain in town and the tour of Montréal (165km, crescent shape) in a very solid pace.

Awesome footage. Would love to hear more about your take on what shoes they are wearing. 16 miles today at easy pace. Felt good

[@vaffens]

Ran my first 30 km this Sunday. My first run past 25 km. It was tougher then expected, but the UTMB had med all kinds of excited. I ended up walking a fair bit of the last distance, but I'm happy I made it thru. The legs were okay and I had no issues walking. So just need to work on the form. I had fun, and will try again sometime. But I'm still a new runner. Turned 40 this year. But want to try all the things. Maybe eventually Ultras.

[@lukebloomquist9066]
