Gilles Diehl

About

Gilles Diehl is a French masters-category trail runner who has built a long, steady amateur racing record across three decades on the French ultra-trail circuit rather than through headline wins. Now competing in the 65-69 age group, he has completed 32 tracked trail races with a best UTMB Index score of 636, regularly lining up at events such as the Bretagne Ultra Trail, Festival des Templiers, and the Trail des 6 Cols. His longest tracked result is the 2019 Bretagne Ultra Trail 102.6km, finished in 11:30:00, and he remains an active entrant in French regional trail races into his mid-sixties, part of the long-tenured amateur base that sustains the sport's grassroots calendar.
