The Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc® (UTMB) has become a big goal race, and a destination race, for many. To enter, runners must earn points at official qualifier races. We are thrilled to share that, again, many of our 2017 ultra races are qualifiers for 2018 UTMB events.
Here are the points for our 2017 races:
- Smith Rock Ascent 50K = 2 points
- NUT 100K = 5 points
- NUT 50K = 3 points
- Mt. Hood 50M = 4 points
- Mt. Hood 50K = 2 points
- Volcanic 50 = 3 points
- Mountain Lakes 100 = 6 points
- Elk-King’s 50K = 3 points
Not every ultra or trail race can be a UTMB qualifier. We explain the process for submission and approval. We continue to believe this is a benefit that is worth the expense for our racers.
