What are ITRA points
The International Trail Running Association was born in 2013 to promote the values and development of trail running and promote the safety and health of runners, it guarantees dialogue between national and international bodies interested in the sport.
ITRA points are used to be able to participate in some international long-distance races that allow registration only against a certain ITRA score.
The ITRA evaluates the points in a trail running sporting event based on the distance, the difference in altitude and the autonomy, therefore based on the effort in kilometers and the difficulty that the athlete must employ to reach the finish line. The classification features seven different categories of trail racing ranging from XXS to XXL.
To obtain ITRA points it is sufficient to finish the race within the maximum established time, while the position in the standings or the time taken do not intervene in the scoring.
