How most descent ultramarathon 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 ultramarathon route map questions
What qualifies for most descent ultramarathon route maps?
A ultramarathon race must have stored route geometry and a publishable descent value to appear in this ranking.
Why are some mapped ultramarathon 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 ultramarathon race leads this mapped-route ranking?
Tahoe 200 Endurance Run leads this route-map ranking with descent 13,099 m.
