Kiwi Ruth Croft Wins 2025 UTMB in Frigid Conditions With her UTMB win, Croft, 36, is now the first woman to win all three of the UTMB World Series championship races in Chamonix. The New Zealand native won the CCC 100K in 2015 and the OCC 50K in 2018 and 2019, then finished second in the UTMB race last year.
Croft also won the 2022 Western States 100 in California and the Tarawera Ultramarathon 100K race in New Zealand, but she’s had her eyes on UTMB the past few years.
“It wasn’t necessarily the main goal, just kind of like cherry on top,” she said. “I think it’s interesting to look back in 2015, [which] was my first year at the Chamonix, when I won the CCC, and so it’s taken 10 years to get to this point and win UTMB.”
Croft becomes the first woman to win the prestigious UTMB, CCC, and OCC trio.
