Showing the top 100 of 110 qualifying races; use the distance catalogue for the full searchable list. Scores are out of 100 when present; route, elevation and cost figures are shown in their natural units.
Races are ranked by Net elevation. Score metrics use methodology scoring-methodology-v1.0. Elevation rankings use only trusted raw-elevation course profiles. A ranking is only published when at least five races qualify, so the table is never padded with thin data.
Western States Endurance Run Ultramarathon ranks first by net elevation, from 110 qualifying races compared under our published methodology.
