Runners who have obtained a priority for 2026 UTMB World Series Finals and are currently injured and know they cannot attend the 2026 Finals can request a priority deferral to 2027.

This must be received before January 19 2026. Please send an email to the Elite Athlete Services Team (elites@utmb.world), detailing your situation and providing a medical certificate attesting to your inability to compete.

From January 20th, only runners that have completed their registration for the 2026 event  are able to request a priority deferral for the 2027 edition. This is a deferral of the priority only and is not a transfer of registration. Runners will need to cancel their 2026 registration and complete a new registration for the 2027 event, reimbursement will only be possible in accordance with the cancellation insurance outlined above.

Please note: runners who obtained qualification through age groups (outside the top 10 overall for their gender at the UTMB World Series Majors) are not eligible for a category change.

Your priority for this race is valid until January 19, 2026. However, if a runner doesn't complete their priority registration and instead pre-registers for a different race through the lottery, their priority becomes invalid. In such a scenario, their original priority cannot be used if they end up with an unfavorable result in the lottery.

ETC:

For 2026, ETC registrations will be conducted through a lottery system. Pre-registration will be open from January 8, 2026 at 11:00 (CET) to January 19, 2026 at 23:59.

Elite athletes must pre-register within this period to take part in the lottery. Elite runners will be directly selected based on their UTMB Index 20K:

Elite: >800 for men >675 for women

ESPOIR Category (born in 2004, 2005, 2006): >750 for men >625 for women

Selected athletes will receive a link to confirm their registration between January 22 and February 4, 2026.

In the event of a full race, elite runners can still contact the organisation by e-mail (elites@utmb.world) for a personalised study of their status.

Elite: >800 for men and >675 for women
