The Golden Trail World Series exists to celebrate and evolve trail running as a sport.
It aims to promote professional trail runners as the world-class athletes that they are, to showcase and protect the awe-inspiring natural environments where we play and compete, and to acknowledge the amazing, passionate fans as an essential ingredient in the sport.
Each of the 8 races in the series has been specifically selected for the scenery, the challenge, the history, and the atmosphere that they offer to both the runners and to the public. These are the races that every runner wants to experience and some of the first written on any runner’s bucket list.
It combines these iconic races into a new and revolutionary concept.
A clear and simple format where each runner’s best three results from the 8 races count. This will generate excitement for the public who follow the entire season and to ensure that elites meet each other a maximum of times during the year guaranteeing a high level at each race.
However, it is more than just a race series – it celebrates trail running, trail running athletes and the fans. Every celebration needs a party – a finale that embodies everything we stand for. Each year The Golden Trail World Series will choose a very special race for the Grand Final.
In 2024, the top 30 men and women from the overall ranking after the 8th race will be invited to the Grand Final. This guarantees an epic battle till the very last finish line.
The aim of the national series is to give an opportunity to any strong athletes to take part in the most prestigious international trail running series the following year and measure themselves against the world’s best athletes.
