The current weather forecast for Saturday, 19 July 2025, the main Race day for the Eiger Ultra Trail by UTMB, predicts a high risk of thunderstorms with lightning activity, rain and strong winds from midday onwards. Experience has shown that the majority of our athletes will be on the most exposed sections of our race courses during this time. As the safety of our participants, support teams and our crew is our first priority, the routes for the E101, E51 and E35 will be adjusted. The E16 route remains unchanged. All start times remain the same and will not change.
The Manadatory Gear remains Basic Kit only.
