At 52 years old, I decided to run the Tour du Mont Blanc.
No sponsors. No crew. Just a regular guy chasing something that felt like a not guaranteed adventure.
This is the full story of what it took to run 100+ miles around Mont Blanc through France, Italy, and Switzerland.
The Tour du Mont Blanc is one of the most iconic mountain routes in the world.
Roughly 105 miles with over 30,000 feet of climbing, circling the Mont Blanc massif through three countries.
We chose to do it self guided. No shortcuts. No “short” variants. The full route.
What I didn’t know going in was how hard it would be. Or what it would unlock.
This film captures:
• The full daily journey
• The physical toll
• The unexpected beauty
• The chaos of Chamonix during UTMB week
• And what it feels like to attempt something big at 52
If you’re a regular person wondering if you’re still capable of big things, this one’s for you.

I’m documenting what it looks like to keep exploring after 50.
