How steepest 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.
Steepest ultramarathon route map questions
What qualifies for steepest ultramarathon route maps?
A ultramarathon race must have stored route geometry and a publishable max grade 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?
Wicklow Way Race leads this route-map ranking with max grade 99.4%.
