The ETC is currently the race that any of us can enter - no lottery, no other races or a UTMB INDEX needed - just sign up. It is run on the Courmayeur side of the range, and is 15k with 1200 meters of ascent and descent.
It has gained popularity these past few years, and has started to draw in top sub-marathon, elite trail runners. Registration begins in December; I'm going. After the Tuesday race, take a recovery day, and then absorb the vibes of the OCC, CCC, and UTMB from out on the course, as well as sitting at a cafe at the finish line.
