How to get the label
Following an in-depth analysis, the ISF has developed a system to identify and award skyrunning races with a certificate and label.
Organisers of skyrunning races can request the Certified Course certificate, valid for three years, and relative Certified Course label (CC label).
The certification is based on a number of parameters, together with the GPX course data and an exclusive algorithm.
Essential factors for Course Certification
- Average incline
- Altitude
- Distance
- Terrain
- Uphill sections
- Vertical climb
Procedure
- Organiser completes online form
- Organiser provides GPX course profile, photo and/or video
- ISF analyses GPX track elaborated with dedicated algorithm
- ISF establishes the technical level of the course and rules
Races that receive ISF approval and pay the designated fee will receive the Certified Course certificate and relative CC Label. The race will then be included in the annual list published here. Races that don’t meet the minimum requirements will not be included.
