Vegans hitting the Mont Blanc ultras
Vegan runners were among the competitors taking on probably the most famous ultramarathon – Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc.

USA’s Yassine Diboun was competing in the BSM race. The race was curtailed following the tragic death of a competitor in a fall. Yassine was placed 6th overall of 856 runners.
