This interview is part of Freetrail's coverage of the 2025 Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB). Our shows and athlete interviews are hosted by Dylan Bowman who sits down to talk with some of the favorites who are racing this year.

 

In this interview, Dylan talks to professional runner, Ludovic Pommeret (HOKA). Ludo turned 50 last month, just after winning Hardrock for the second year in a row. Ludo has had incredible success here in Chamonix over the years, a few highlights below:

 

• 2024 5th at UTMB

• 2021 4th at UTMB
• 2019 3rd at TDS by UTMB
• 2017 3rd at CCC by UTMB
