Kaçkar 2025 Results

The Kaçkar by UTMB joins the UTMB World Series for the first time in 2025. This year event was moved to a date later in the year and sadly the 100K had to be cancelled due to weather. The 50K ran on an alternate course. 100K Runners had the option to switch to either the 20K or 50K distance and receive a 15% discount for next year or not race at all and receive a 30% discount for 2026.
