Western States Announces Qualifying Races for 2026

The new list of events is updated and posted. At a quick glance it doesn’t look like there many changes compared to 2025, just some additions:

• Buffalo Stampede 100k – Australia
• Hellbender – North Carolina
• Hood Hundred – Oregon
• Tenerife Bluetrail by UTMB – Spain

One thing that I do find interesting is that UTMB is the qualifying race, but CCC the Golden Ticket race for that event.
