Peloton instructor and HOKA global ambassador Becs Gentry has announced her latest race, a 101 kilometer ultramarathon taking place at the end of the month.
Becs shared that she will be running the CCC, part of the broader UTMB Mont-Blanc race weekend.
The race features 6,050 meters of elevation gain and begins in Courmayeur, Italy before crossing through Champex-Lac in Switzerland and finishing in Chamonix, France. The CCC begins on Friday, August 28 and has a maximum allowed time of 26 hours and 30 minutes.
In her video, Becs talks about how she likes doing hard things and challenging herself, but also points out that training for one of the toughest mountain races in the world is not a particularly natural fit while living and training in Brooklyn, New York.
In March, Becs won the Napa Valley Trail Marathon outright, finishing the trail marathon in 3:22:58. At the time, she called it her “return to trail racing” and teased that she was “one race closer to something big,” without revealing what that larger goal was.
More recently, Becs completed the Speedgoat 50K at Snowbird Resort in Utah, covering roughly 33 miles and more than 11,000 feet of elevation gain. She said afterward that rather than treating Speedgoat as a target race, it was essentially a long run within her training block. At the time, she still had not disclosed what event she was preparing for.
Becs is no stranger to long-distance endurance events. She completed The Great World Race in 2024, running a marathon on all seven continents over the course of seven days and finishing second among the women overall.
We wish Becs the best of luck in the CCC.
