UTMB WORLD SERIES FINALS

The UTMB World Series Finals will be held in the three key distances of the UTMB Mont-Blanc – known as the OCC (50k), CCC (100k) and UTMB (100M). To qualify for a place at the Finals, trail runners must compete in at least one of the UTMB World Series Events or UTMB World Series Majors, where they can collect Running Stones for use in the lottery, or be rewarded for their performance with direct access.

The UTMB World Series men’s and women’s titles will be awarded at these three races.

UTMB WORLD SERIES MAJORS

Three UTMB World Series Majors are held each year, and these pinnacle events across the Americas, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region award double the amount of Running Stones to all finishers that can be used in the UTMB World Series Finals lottery.

In total 225 runners are also granted automatic qualification for the UTMB World Series Finals through each Major. This includes age-group category winners and the top 10 male and female runners in the 100M, 100K and 50K categories who gain automatic qualification to the respective UTMB (100M), CCC (100K) and OCC (50K) races at UTMB Mont-Blanc.

UTMB INDEX RACES

Finishing a UTMB Index race will contribute towards your UTMB Index. However, it will not provide Running Stones which are mandatory to enter the UTMB Mont-Blanc lottery for the World Series Finals.

Your UTMB Index also allows you priority access for registration at UTMB World Series Majors and Events and is sometimes required as a security measure by Race Organizers, in order to ensure that you have the experience necessary to complete an ultra-distance.
