How most climbing per km 5k route maps qualify
A race appears in a route-map collection only when raceindex.org has stored route geometry. Elevation, ascent and GAP values appear only when the route has enough elevation-bearing evidence for a publishable profile; unsupported signals are omitted.
Most climbing per km 5k route map questions
What qualifies for most climbing per km 5k route maps?
A 5k race must have stored route geometry and a publishable m/km value to appear in this ranking.
Why are some mapped 5k races missing from this ranking?
Mapped races can be missing an elevation-derived metric when their stored route lacks enough elevation-bearing evidence. Unsupported route metrics are omitted rather than inferred.
Which 5k race leads this mapped-route ranking?
Kia Fjällmaraton (Fjällmaratonveckan), Årefjällen leads this route-map ranking with m/km 201.0 m/km.
