The inclusion of four UTMB-branded events signals the coalescing of trail running's most competitive events under a single UTMB banner. All runners who finish in the top ten at Western States also get automatic entry the next year. If the recipient of the Golden Ticket winner already has an entry (either through the lottery or another Golden Ticket event) the ticket rolls down to the next runner without entry. In this system, 30 spots are reserved for Golden Ticket winners in WSER. ![]() Golden Ticket events give the top two runners automatic entry into the race, allowing them to bypass the competitive lottery. The Western States Endurance Run is the U.S.'s oldest and most competitive 100-mile race and has long depended on a lottery system to modulate the number of runners on the start line. Black Canyon 100k will offer three golden tickets to the full podium, vs the other events’ two. The original UTMB 100-miler has been replaced by the CCC 100k, and the Tarawera 100k replaced by Grindstone. Now, East Coast runners are one step closer to entry with the addition of the Grindstone 100k in Virginia. For the third consecutive year, the lineup will include three international races, including CCC, Doi Inthanon Thailand 100M, and Nice Cote d'Azur.
