Running Stones ✊, are super simple: you participate in races on the UTMB World Series circuit, finish the race, and boom, you earn points 🤩.
Each point, or Running Stone, gives you an additional chance to be selected for the dream races in Chamonix: the UTMB®, the CCC®, or the OCC® ⛰️. The more Running Stones you accumulate, the higher your chances of securing a bib 🍀.
To collect Running Stones, simply finish races affiliated with the UTMB World Series circuit 👍. Each race earns you a certain number of points depending on its distance, elevation, and difficulty 📈. For example, the Trail Verbier Saint-Bernard (42 km and 3000 D+) awards you 2 Running Stones, while the Trail du Saint-Jacques by UTMB® (81 km and 3300 D+) gives you 3 😮. No matter the distance chosen, you can accumulate these precious stones.
Good news ✅: your Running Stones are valid for life! But beware, to be able to use them, at least one of your points must have been earned in the last two years 💪. So, if you want to run in Chamonix next year, make sure you have at least one point in the past two years 🗓️.
To know how many Running Stones you have in stock 📦, create your My UTMB account on the UTMB® website 🌐. In less than 3 minutes ⏳, you will be able to check your UTMB Index and the number of Running Stones you have accumulated 🎉.
