Montrail Ultra Cup

Western States 100 is the final event each year in the Montrail Ultra Cup series. The top two male and female winners of each event, 50 Miles and over, receive an automatic entry to WS. If either the first or second place finisher is already entered in Western States 100 or has an automatic spot, then the third place finisher will receive the automatic entry offer. If neither first nor second is in Western States 100 and decides not to run it, there is no sliding to third. The automatic entry will not slide down further than third place.

Montrail Ultra Cup winners have two weeks from the qualifying race to commit to running Western States. If the qualifying race is before the lottery, runners will be sent an invite to register shortly before the lottery with the other automatics. They must complete their registration by December 1. If the qualifying race is after the lottery, the runner must confirm, complete the registration and pay the entry fee within two weeks of the qualifying race.
