About
Yannick Noël is a French ultra-trail runner with an extraordinary double life: he rises at 2:30 am each day to bake bread and pastries at his local boulangerie in Les Deux-Alpes, then heads into the mountains for training sessions that few professionals could match. Known as l'ultra boulanger, he has become one of the most consistent performers on the international ultra-trail circuit, with a top-10 finish at the 2024 UTMB Mont-Blanc and a podium at the Diagonale des Fous in 2025. He won the Cappadocia Ultra Trail (119 km, course record) and the Volvic Volcanic Experience 112 km. He competes for INOV-8 and embodies the image of the working-class ultra runner achieving results that rival full-time professionals.
