How most descent relay 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 descent relay route map questions

What qualifies for most descent relay route maps?

Why are some mapped relay 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.
