Official figure vs technical GPS figure

The official figure is the rounded value used to identify the race (e.g. “116 km”, “36 km”). The technical GPS figure is the length certified by Trace de Trail (e.g. 116.2 km, 36.2 km). If external portals show different figures, those certified by Trace de Trail take precedence.

UTMB Index qualification

The UTMB Index qualifying distances for the 2027 edition are: Half Trail 23 km, Borderless Trail 36 km, TransKarst Ultra 55 km, Trieste Ultra 61 km and Bora Ultra 116 km.
