Which races are excluded from UTMB Index scoring?
Is a score calculated for every race listed on your website?
A score is calculated for all races on our calendar when we receive complete and accurate result files from the event organizer. However, please note that no score is calculated for the following races:
- "Vertical KM" races
- Virtual Races
- Races where the total effort (distance km + (elevation profile/100) m) is less than 20 (e.g. 15km + 400m = 19km effort)
- Back-Yard Ultra or elimination style races
- Races with an insufficient number of finishers to establish a reliable score
- Races with result files that contain too many errors to determine which runners participated.
