Addicted to sport since she became a couple with Stanislas Gruau, the former Miss France Marine Lorphelin has set herself a new major challenge: the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB) in Chamonix which takes place from August 26 to September 1, 2024. Supported by her sweetheart, the former beauty queen appeared sweaty, completely dazed at the end of the race. On the verge of tears, her companion took her in his arms to comfort her as we can see in several photos.
It must be said that the young woman has chosen a very sporty challenge: the UTMB is a trail running race of 171 km and 10,000 meters of elevation gain to go around Mont Blanc by crossing Italy, Switzerland and France.Whatever the time to finish, from less than 20 hours to more than 46 hours, elite runners and thousands of amateurs share the same adventure on the same exceptional courses, carried by the stunning beauty of the landscapes and a common goal: to cross the finishing arch in Chamonix. Much more than a race, it is a transformative adventure from which everyone emerges stronger.” indicate the official race website.
Marine Lorphelin and Stan Gruau, two sports lovers
The couple is used to thrills and has even done the New York marathon before. The man who runs Explora Project, a company that creates low-carbon adventure trips, ran in the Big Apple with his sweetheart during an intense and unforgettable race. The beautiful brunette – previously engaged to Christophe – also took part in the Elles 2024 challenge in Lapland, a sports trip to Lapland that took place from January 24 to 28, 2024.
As a reminder, Marine Lorphelin’s darling is not a stranger sincehe participated in the show Who wants to be my partner? in February 2022. He was trying to find a financial partner to set up his company. During the show, Éric Larchevêque had agreed to invest 500,000 euros for 11% of the capital of his company. That’s not all since Stanislas Gruau was also a candidate on the show Ninja Warrior in January 2023.
