Minoggio and Kaspersen win CCC on twice-cut 108 km Chamonix course
Italy’s Cristian Minoggio and Norway’s Yngvild Kaspersen won the 2026 CCC — the UTMB World Series 100K Final — on a course cut twice to 108 kilometers with about 6,200 meters of climb.
Minoggio’s final 40 kilometers
iRunFar’s race report says Minoggio took control in the second half and led roughly the last 40 kilometers after the early pace of U.S. runner Hans Troyer faded. Portugal’s Miguel Arsénio closed for second.
Kaspersen’s long chase
Kaspersen was well outside the top 10 at halfway — iRunFar had her about 20 minutes off the lead — before a ferocious second half. She became the first woman to win CCC twice. South Africa’s Toni McCann took second; China’s Miao Yao was third.
Why the result still matters after UTMB week
With the 100-mile UTMB titles already decided, CCC closes the 100K World Series Final ledger for 2026. The depth — and Kaspersen’s comeback — will travel into autumn trail calendars and UTMB Index conversations.
Context for South African readers
Toni McCann’s silver keeps a South African flag on the CCC podium after a brutal week of weather delays and mid-race course surgery. For local trail athletes tracking UTMB Index points into 2027 Western States and UTMB qualifying windows, a top-three against Kaspersen and Miao Yao is a career marker — and a reminder that Chamonix form still travels even when the ribbon on the map keeps moving.
