Are you getting ready to take on Monte Rosa Walserwaeg by UTMB in 2027? Held in the heart of the Italian Alps, this endurance race follows historic Walser trails, offering runners an unforgettable test of stamina, resilience and mountain-running skill.
Before you lace up your running shoes and head to the mountains, there’s one important requirement to take care of: getting your sports medical certificate. In this short guide, we’ll explain what’s required for 2027 and how you can get yours online with Fit Certify.
Monterosa Walserwaeg by UTMB is a leading ultra-trail race and part of the UTMB World Series. Taking place from 15 to 18 July 2027, the event takes runners through the stunning Monte Rosa region, with its glacial valleys, high-altitude passes and ancient Walser villages.
The race is not just about distance. It’s about endurance, mental strength and strategy. With races from 20 km up to 100 miles, including the 43 km Walserwaeg Trail, and over 6,000 metres of elevation gain on the longest routes, it’s a true test of physical and mental determination.
