[@chrisshent]

Seth, it was a rare treat to meet you and the DGR crew in person in Zurich. Hauling your tired self and video gear to Europe days after Pikes Peak made me clear just how much dedication you put in as a citizen runner AND vlogger - every single day. We should not take your endeavour for granted. Thank you!

[@grahamhowes3912]

I couldn't have said it better myself Christopher.

[@chrisshent]

@@grahamhowes3912 Thanks!

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

Good morning world 🌎 Chamonix is amazing and can’t wait to meet you all at UTMB

[@amandawalker4510]

I have been there, a truly beautiful part of the world. I trekked the TMB 😀

[@SwissAlpsHiker]

Time and weather-permitting, I hope you get a chance to get to Aiguille du midi. It's breathtaking scenery. Words can't describe how freaking cool that place is.

[@shawnrobinson5610]

Seth: “Your tall, what sport do you play?” Dude: “Triathlon” 😂

[@tobin87]

haha english as a 3rd language. You never know there could be triathlon clubs for school kids. It is Switzerland after all

[@michaelwduffy]

lmaoooo

[@stanlie6]

Thanks for mentioning the fallen brother. I didn't know him, but he was my countryman from Czech republic. Although the Czech ultra running community may not be huge, it's deeply affected by the accident. Just like you said, be grateful for every day...

[@jeromeziaja]

I went out and hugged my favorite colleagues today. First they all were surprised but then they had a big smile in their faces 😘 you're right Seth...love each other!!!

[@BanjoStu]

So sad that the runner lost their life. I believe they were Czech from the reports coming out. Condolences to their family. It is a stark reminder that races in the mountains can never be taken lightly. Although TDS is slightly shorter than UTMB it's a more technically difficult course.

[@samb2818]

Thanks for the group run Seth!!! Such a pleasure to meet you in person, they always say never meet your heros but you are definitely the exception :P So nice to meet other members of DGR strong as well, you were all legends!!

[@frederikfogt7649]

DGR strong in Zurich! Amazing experience meeting you Seth, and again congratulations on Pikes Peak! Thank you for inspiring us runners every single day, both through tips and advice but also just by watching you and your family tackle the daily life :)

[@samuelz9230]

Hey Seth, thank you so much for organising the group run and taking the time to reach out. It was great meeting you in person, and congrats again on Pikes Peak. Have a great time filming at UTMB, looking forward to the footage!

[@paulogomes1310]

it's so nice to see you with the DGR group, LOVE EACH OTHER, WORK HARD AND SEEK BEAUTY!

[@curthoward9127]

Seth, I received my first case of "Bobo's" (choc chip) today.... Youser! Those are good! Can't wait for the Coconut to arrive tomorrow! I hope they are sponsoring you!

[@TrailMixRunning]

Seth's best running tip yet. Forget your running kit so that you have to go shopping in Chamonix 😁

[@MrAkhe83]

beautiful switzerland my country!

[@allisonhernandez8271]

My bucket list race would be Western States. I grew up around the sport since my own father was an ultra runner. He’s a 10x WS finisher and I have many fond memories as a child and adult crewing him. He’s now the cutoff coordinator for the race and I volunteer at one of the aid stations.

[@CedricPion]

Lol, that accordeon music that you chose for the morning is awesome 😂. I doubt you will hear this kind of music during your stay though 😉

[@julien7705]

Welcome in France 🇫🇷 Seth! So glad to see you here

[@TrailrunnerTroy]

Qualified for the CCC at UTMB last year but had to defer because it conflicts with our son and daughter’s starting graduate school and college. Hope to make it next year!

[@eriktred]

Impressive!

[@patrickvanderwal6324]

QD: Zegama Aizkorri! BTW: watch out with those drone shots in the cities. It's forbidden in many cities. 😉

[@guillaumesperlich5749]

Travel + Running vlogs are the best ! :-) I'll be in Amsterdam this weekend and I'll go for a run thinking about one of the first Seth James Demoor vlogs I watched, when you were training for the Amsterdam marathon 2 years ago. I was also training for a marathon (Frankfurt 2019) and I haven't missed a vlog since then. Keep being who you are !

[@MattD86]

[@marktrujillo5480]

Man, you are crushing these vlogs with your drone footage and B roll. Not only are you an amazing runner, but your cinematography is unreal! The effort you are putting into your channel shows how much you care about us! Have a great time in France. DGR strong!

Hi Seth. First of all let me praise your YT channel. The content about the running is amazing. Drone footages are incredible. And all the family insertions make it even better. Just keep on going... I would like to ask if you also plan to attend any race in Switzerland. Here is a lot of mountain running races... Just to name a few: Jungfrau Marathon, Eiger Ultra Trail, Sierre-Zinal, Inferno Half-marathon...

[@McLeod573]

I was a bit desapointed when i watched this vlog... i should have been in Zurich group...😭...but i promised myself to never missed these opportunities ...see you next year in Chamonix ...well i hope you will be back there in 2022...and if you will be there ...i will be there 🏃‍♂️👍😉🇨🇵....😫...👏👏👏😉

[@copilot1976]

Maybe an odd choice since I haven’t completed a hundred mile run yet but I’ve got my eyes set on the Cocodona 250! I lived in Arizona over 10 years ago and it’s my favorite state by far. That race looks epic.

[@frankcoughlan4538]

You had no leg pain as you are incredibly fit !! Enjoy France and Europe !!

[@AnsleyDennisDoReMiClub]

Super enjoyable Pikes Peak happy ending and now this awesome vlog has been wonderful to watch! More and more excellent all the time!

[@sgtmidgetpanda2121]

I’m 18 and it’s my senior year of high school and I’m not really “ultra marathon” rn but one day I would love to run a marathon after high school and maybe one day do ultra marathons it’s not really a particular race but just seeing seth run the pikes peak marathon and other people running those races it just really inspires me to train for that goal

[@dbk81]

Now at 40 I wish I could talk to my 18 year old self to start running earlier in life, even if it’s just 5kms every other day, keep that aerobic engine strong and it will take you to so many amazing places. 💪🏼🧈

[@Ocean_Baseball]

Looking forward to all the beatiful footage you'll make. Already loving the evening drone shots around the lake!

[@andrewallin42]

Thanks for making us come along.. :)

[@thirdculturemama]

I LOVED this vlog!! Remember to stick to the right lane unless overtaking or people get a little peeved. Haha ;-) I really hope you can get out of the city and up, up, up into those mountains at least a little bit. It's epic up there. I love our mountains! Little tip: don't take the touristy Aiguille du Midi side up, but the Brevent side.. run up or take a gondola part way, regardless, it's astounding. Coffee up top at all these places. Hope to see you on Sunday if I can find someone to help with the kids!

[@runningwithmarc]

It's like a kid in a candy store :D great video Seth, looking forward to the great content.

PIKES PEAK MARATHON / ACCENT Would love to one day race with the whole family

[@TheFODRunner]

It’s got to be UTMB for sure, 3/5 year plan but hopefully I’ll start to work on qualifying races over the next couple of years! So sad about the runner on the TDS course, life is so fragile

[@greyrunnings9725]

Nice video Seth, I hope that you enjoy your time at UTMB and many congrats for Pikes Peak. Well done for commenting about the runner who fell whilst racing. I visited Chamonix on a couple of occasions last decade and should have been there this year as support for a friend who had qualified but due to COVID and injury has postponed till 22. Best wishes, Mark

[@andrewrose4946]

It seems unlikely, but the Barkley Marathons. I would love to get a crack at that one.

[@iksanderrr]

QD: UTMB for me too. I've been trying to get in to UTMB CCC for a few years now and was due to participate this year, but have postponed until next year. So, all being well, I'll get to finally race those beautiful trails in 2022.

[@mpelletier62]

QD: WS100 & UTMB, after starting trail running 15 months ago, I qualified for a WS qualifier next june. Will start the WS ticket dance next summer

[@jmiscischia]

Welcome to our beautiful country Seth!

[@lukesherwin4137]

I would love to do an epic mountain ultra (Leadville, Hardrock, Rabbit) but I don’t feel it would be wise to do so unless I move to a mountainous area (I live in Michigan at about 850ft above sea level) where I can get some altitude training in for a few months at least (likely won’t happen). I may consider doing something in the Appalachians since altitude is not near as much of a factor (though the trails are extremely rugged/rocky compared to the glaciated smooth trails here in Michigan), but we will see.

[@Deadbuck73]

Loved the guitar after the group run... had a lil Allman flavor to it... sometimes all we’re missing is a little Allman Bros!

[@bartwijnands3325]

QD: Placed myself for UTMB next year by landing the Val d'Aran by UTMB some weeks ago. When it comes to the atmosphere, UTMB is magical and second to none. 10.000 trailrunners that participate in one of the races give Chamonix a brilliant vibe and the finish in the centre is something you never forget (assuming you don't finish in the middle of the night). However the huge number of runners on the single trails means also queing for at least the first 20K and there are definitely more beautiful races when it comes to nature. Therefor I'm a bit ambivalent when it comes to UTMB and though it's definitely on my bucketlist, I would not say it's nr.1 on my wishlist. I would like to do something remote like Hamperokken or something in Patagonia. I'm also considering the TOR330

[@sandratessem9980]

Beautiful video. I really miss the Alps. Enjoy

[@RunDaddyO]

My #1 bucket list "race" isn't even a race, but a Grand Canyon R2R2R. For actual races, I'd have to say Tahoe 200. One Day!

[@Soraremaxwell3500]

Another epic Vlog!! Thanks for all your hard work! QD: being from Wales I have to say the Dragons Back race here in Wales, it’s so challenging but something I hope to conquer in the future!

[@germandeluna3821]

Great vlog today, winning PP and going to UTMB on the same week must be exhausting for you, but I can tell that this week vlogs are going to be among the best! I dream of running UTMB or one of their smaller races some day! Also doing "El Cruce" down in Argentina loks awesome! Thanks for the daily dose of inspiration!! Keep on doing great things, thanks!!

[@toddboucher3302]

Yes this is my goal race! Thanks, UTMB is a dream that might never come true. living through your videos

[@philippegagne268]

Wow beautiful!! Never been to Europe but feel connected with that region. My ancestors cames from France as they crossed the Atlantic in the 17th century to establish in North America (called Nouvelle France at that time). so definitely UTMB is in the bucket list…when money and time will allow. Other race would be ring of steel, in Scotland I think and Leadville 100 in US.

[@ricodelavega4511]

QD: Caballo Blanco. I'm mestizo, mexican-american mestizo to be exact, and i would love to run with the folks down there addicted to running and living a traditional life among the mountans of sonora.....tho there should be a Caballo Blanco North on the border with US of A.

[@bretstevens262]

QoD: It is kind of masochistic, but the race that I'd love to do is the Badwater 135. There is something that draws me to running from the lowest point in the continental United States (Death Valley) to the Mount Whitney(8360 feet). With the extremes of temperature, it would be an awesome test of my endurance (135 miles) and my abilities to fight through massive the 130 degree days. Someone once said, "Be wary of what you ask for" but that would be an amazing test for me.

[@TW-fv2zu]

SETH - You gotta Run UTMB!!

[@markmoore2798]

Great! lucky you Seth that you were able to travel over (I'm still waiting to see if us Brits will be able to get to the US in time for Boston Marathon!) Have a great run, a number of friends are down there - I'll add you to the tracking! Good Luck!

[@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183]

Oh wow, I sure hope you Brits can make it into the US. 6 weeks to go, Boston won’t be canceled at this point because Massachussets has a very low infection rate so they’re doing great. More resisters are finally getting vaccinated so hope to see improvement throughout the country. 🤞🏻Martha

[@alexlee5617]

I think I'd have to choose UTMB as well haha. It just has that allure of ultra races that you dream of and the scenery seems so beautiful!

I did the TMB two weekend ago but was too afraid to use my drone because its forbidden and to busy (also with heli's), carried it the whole way for nothing XD

[@tomylee]

@Seth, most of the drone flying what you do is forbidden in Europe and mostly you need a license to do it anywhere. Otherwise it can get pricy.

I hope he catches the couple of comments from you guys who know…..thanks on his behalf

QD: Hardrock 100 is my dream race. Finally qualified in 2019, only to miss out on the next two lotteries, due to snow and then Covid.

[@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183]

Dean’s a great guy-generous, gentle, intelligent, and humble. I loved his book “Road to Sparta” if you haven’t read that one as well. I got to hang with him for a week at place where I perform music and he was a guest fitness presenter, Rancho la Puerta in Tecate, not far from San Diego. He inspired me to do my first marathon, and inscribed “See you in Boston” when I asked him to sign the book. I did a marathon several months later and am bound for Boston in

No, UTMB is out of my league. I have too small mountains and don't want to invest so much time in running. But my goal is indeed a backyard where I want to finish with more than 24 hours (= 100 miles) and a 100 mile-race in Germany with not so much elevation as UTMB - there are some.
