The World Mountain Running Association (WMRA) is proud to continue with its comprehensive World Ranking system, officially presented back in 2021 and designed to celebrate and acknowledge the achievements of mountain runners worldwide.

This transparent and user-friendly classification offers athletes, race organizers, sponsors, and enthusiasts an up-to-date insight into the leading figures in the sport at any given time.

• Dynamic 365-Day Rolling Ranking: Athletes accumulate points based on their performances over the preceding 365 days. This ensures the rankings reflect current form and consistency, with updates occurring in real-time.
• Inclusive Participation: Every runner participating in a recognized ranking race earns a position. This service is complimentary for athletes, and races are included without any charges, promoting widespread engagement across the mountain running community.
• Simplified Points System: Races are categorized from A to E, with Category A events—such as World Championships—offering the highest points. This straightforward structure rewards participation in prestigious races, making the system accessible and easy to interpret.

• Historical Performance Records: Beyond current standings, the ranking system maintains historical data, allowing athletes and fans to track performance trajectories and celebrate personal bests over calendar years.
• Comprehensive Race Directory and Search Functionality: Users can explore an extensive directory of races contributing to the rankings and utilize powerful search features to find specific results, athletes, countries, or years.
