UltraSignup’s ‘Order Of The Unchosen’

15 June 2026

UltraSignup’s new system to award their sponsor spot into Western States:

Each year, UltraSignup awards one Western States entry to a runner. Our goal is to reward a runner who has been waiting in the lottery pool and active in their community, racing, volunteering, and showing up year after year. We’re tallying this up with “Forsaken Points.”

UltraSignup has a leaderboard tracker posted sharing who’s currently “in the lead”.

What a fun idea.
