Question 4

What is KM-Effort and how is race difficulty calculated?

Accepted Answer

KM-Effort (Kilometre-Effort) combines distance and elevation gain into a single difficulty score: KM-Effort = distance (km) + elevation gain (m) / 100. This is consistent with the ITRA and UTMB methodology. A KM-Effort of 80 means the race is roughly as demanding as running 80 km on flat terrain.

Which trail races in Asia give UTMB or ITRA points?

Accepted Answer

Hima Run displays official ITRA endurance points, mountain levels, and UTMB index race status for qualifying races across Asia. Use the filters on the race calendar to find UTMB index races or ITRA-rated events in your target country.

Question 6

How often is the race calendar updated?

Accepted Answer

The Hima Run calendar is updated weekly. New races are discovered from major aggregators and official sources, then individually verified against each race's official website for accuracy. Race details like registration status and entry fees are re-checked regularly.
