Finisher Points and Qualifications
INTERNATIONAL TRAIL RUNNING ASSOCIATION POINTS
For the purposes of International Trail Running Association (ITRA), trail races are categorized according to their level of difficulty. This ranking considers the distance covered and the elevation gain. It operates based on a metric called “km-effort” for a given race. The km-effort is calculated by adding the distance (in kilometers) and the hundredth of the positive elevation gain (in meters).
Finishers of the 2021 GNW Trail Running Festival races earn the following ITRA Points.
