Category

There is only one category per gender: Overall male and overall female.
Every runner is treated equally, has to meet the same requirements and needs to run the same distance.

PRIZES

The GTNS respects parity and requires that the races give the same prize money to men and women. The prize money is paid by the Golden Trail National Series. The format is planned in such a way that every athlete in the DACH region has the opportunity to compete in two races in his/her country and thus qualify for the finals of the Golden Trail National Series. This avoids long travel distances, reduces the ecological footprint and respects the sustainability aspect of the Golden Trail Series.
