1. Your race is not a UTMB World Series Event and/or UTMB Index race. (Please check the race calendar) to see if it is registered as a UTMB Index race. If the race does not feature in the list then you will need to contact the race organiser and ask them to register as a UTMB Index race. This is free for event organizers to do and only takes a few minutes on utmb.world.
2. If the race is a UTMB World Series Event and/or UTMB Index race but no results are published, it is because we have not yet received the results from the race organizer. We will publish the results as soon as we receive them.
3. There might be a different spelling that prevents the system to attach your result to your profile. Use the tool ‘Claim your results’ to have your UTMB Index updated. We are checking the requests daily.

If the results are uploaded and your result has not been attached to your profile, there is an error in the information provided in your result. This has resulted in a new profile being created or the result being allocated to another runner. Possible reasons include an error in the spelling of your name / date of birth / nationality. If this is the case, please contact us by email at info@utmb.world, providing as much information as possible to help us resolve the issue.
