Trail Running Index is a curated resource with a clear focus on ultras and the elite European scene. We highlight international monuments and classics, along with other events that attract top international athletes.
Our athlete selection principally covers those who, since 2022, have reached the podium in the main race of a "monument", won the secondary race of a "monument", or won a "classic" race.
This website was created out of frustration with the lack of up to date and complete content on English Wikipedia, the proprietary nature of the UTMB Index and similar platforms, and the declining visibility of quality content in Google search results.
Our data comes from various language editions of Wikipedia, official athlete and race websites, and other reliable references. We do not aim to provide full results, instead we focus on wins, podiums, and standout elite performances.
