The Freetrail Podcast with Dylan Bowman OCC Live Reaction & CCC Preview with Katie & Maj
Welcome to Day 4 of Good Morning, Mont Blanc. This is the inaugural year of Freetrail's daily morning show, kicking off with the 20th anniversary of the Ultra Trail Mont Blanc (UTMB), the most important global event in the sport of trail running. The show is hosted each day by professional athlete, Dylan Bowman.
Dylan is joined on Day 4 by Katie Asmuth and Majell Backhausen, two of the kindest, most charismatic individuals in the sport.
Katie is in Chamonix for the first time, and Maj is back for his third go at racing UTMB this week.
They watch OCC live and talk about the field, and then shift gears to preview the CCC course and key players.
Make sure you tune in.
Make sure you play Freetrail Fantasy and pick 10 deep for both men and women for each participating race (OCC, CCC and UTMB). Go get your picks in. Make sure to stay tuned for the rest of the Good Morning, Mont Blanc shows this week where we will be doing race previews for all three races, and interviews with top contenders.

Our Sponsors
Thanks to our sponsors who are making this show possible, Hoka and CamelBak.
Hoka and UTMB were born in the Alps - fueled by the thrill of flying up and down mountains.
Trail running is in Hoka's DNA, and they are proud to be the 2023 UTMB World Series Premier Partner and help share the sport with as many people as possible
Check out Hoka's AR experience and join athletes like Jim Walmsley for a run in the alps.
CamelBak invented the hydration pack category a couple decades ago and has remained on the forefront of innovation for this very important product sector. Outside of footwear, the pack is the most critical piece of running gear and you'll see a bunch of people trusting CamelBak throughout race week out on the trails around the Mont Blanc.
If you're here in Chamonix, there is a public event hosted by CamelBak on Thursday from 6-8pm at Folie Douce Hotel in Chamonix – there will be a panel discussion, followed by an open bar/mixer. They will also be previewing some of their 2024 products in the space. Again it's open to the public so feel free to stop by on Thursday, the Freetrail team will be there. If you can't make it, they have a booth at the expo, so stop by and check it all out.
