How many Running Stones do I need?
Only 1 Running Stone is mandatory to enter the HOKA UTMB Mont-Blanc Finals lottery — but more Stones mean more chances.
- 01
Only 1 Running Stone acquired in the past two years is mandatory to enter the lottery for the UTMB, CCC and OCC Finals races.
- 02
Running Stones are cumulative and have no expiration date; each Running Stone gives you an additional chance to be drawn in the lottery.
- 03
You can only collect Running Stones by finishing a race in the 20K, 50K, 100K or 100M category at a UTMB World Series Event or UTMB World Series Major.
- 04
UTMB World Series Majors award double the amount of Running Stones compared to other UTMB World Series Events.
- 05
To enter the lottery you also need a valid UTMB Index, and you must hold at least one active Running Stone on the day you pre-register for the lottery.
UTMB has not published a target number of Running Stones that improves your odds by a stated amount — how many Stones change your actual chance of being drawn is not published by UTMB.
