The CCC category of the 2026 UTMB final has just been decided, with Italian Cristian MINOGGIO, Portuguese Miguel ARSENIO, and American Hans TROYER finished first through third respectively.

Last year’s OCC runner-up Cristian MINOGGIO delivered an excellent performance this year, using his veteran experience to push in the later stages. After 80 km he moved into the lead and steadily extended his advantage. He crossed the line first in 10:21:48 to take the win — improving on last year’s OCC runner-up finish to reach the top step of this year’s CCC podium. Congratulations to the 41-year-old veteran!

Young American Hans TROYER raced aggressively in the first half, boldly taking the lead and reaching the halfway checkpoint at Champex-Lac in 4:56:09, but was then attacked by Cristian MINOGGIO and Miguel ARSENIO. Hans TROYER ultimately finished in 10:33:29 to take the men’s third place.

Chinese runner Duoji demonstrated strong long-distance ability, ran steadily and moved past four competitors in the final stage to finish tied for seventh in the men’s race with a time of 10:58:26.

Meng Guangfu, who at one point ran alongside Duoji, completed the 100-km journey in 11:16:28 and placed twelfth in the men’s field.
