Gautier Airiau

About

Gautier Airiau is a French trail runner from Grenoble who built his athletic foundation as a Nordic combined skier — competing in both ski jumping and cross-country skiing on the French national team at World Cup level — before transitioning to trail running and rising rapidly to the top tier of European mountain ultra racing. Now living in Haute-Savoie and taking leave from his work as a teacher in the French Education Ministry, he is a Scott Sports-sponsored athlete who has made the TDS by UTMB his signature race: third in 2024 and second in 18:28:04 in 2025, part of a French clean sweep of the TDS podium that year alongside winner Antoine Charvolin and third-placer Léo Rogaume. His results across the broader UTMB World Series circuit — including fourth at the Marathon du Mont-Blanc 90k in 2025 and second at the MIUT Madeira Island Ultra-Trail 110k in 2026 — reflect the technical discipline and aerobic depth that years as a dual-sport international athlete bring to mountain ultra terrain.
