Ruth Croft finished second at UTMB the previous year and returned to win the 2025 UTMB. She switched race strategy from focusing on time splits to surviving severe night weather. A prior DNF caused by hypothermia at Transvulcania earlier in the year influenced her preparation and decision-making for cold conditions. Croft’s involvement with UTMB races spans a decade and began with the 2015 CCC, ultimately culminating in a victory on the big loop. An interview transcript will be published and separate detailed race results are available.
