An Incredible Victory and a Dream to Achieve
It all began in 2013 when Zach Miller burst onto the ultrarunning scene with a surprising and extraordinary win at the JFK 50 Mile Race. Since then, he has competed in some of the world’s biggest international mountain ultramarathons, but one shines brighter than the rest in his sights: the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB®). Since leading for most of the 100-mile race back in 2016 only to crash in the final 15 miles, Zach has returned year after year in his attempt to become the first American man to win (and in the 2023 edition where I participated in the feat, Jim Walmsley succeeded, Zach came second).
