HOKA Val d'Aran by UTMB® and RacePace Join Forces to Support Race Preparation

Preparing for a mountain ultra requires more than simply showing up fit. Long climbs, technical terrain, pacing strategy, fueling, and race logistics all play a role in how the race unfolds. Without proper preparation, small mistakes can compound over many hours in the mountains.

To support runners in this process, HOKA Val d'Aran by UTMB® has partnered with RacePace, a platform designed to help trail runners prepare with personalized race strategies based on the characteristics of the course and their own training data.

RacePace analyzes the race profile together with an athlete's training data to generate pacing and fueling guidance tailored to the demands of the course. What would normally require hours of manual planning and analysis can be generated in under two minutes.

Through this collaboration, runners preparing for HOKA Val d'Aran by UTMB® will have access to tools designed to help them better understand the race and approach the start line with a clearer strategy for the mountains.
