Ultracup Format
In 2009 there are three competitions within the Ultracup:
12- & 24-Hour Triple Challenge
Ultracup & World Cup Points Series
Ultra racers compete in a series of double centuries, 12- and 24- hour races, 500-mile races and multi-day ultra races to determine the best ultra riders of the season. A rider searn performance points based on the Difficulty Points (DP) of an event times the rider's average speed. The DP are based on the length of and amount of climbing in an event.
The World Cup is a series of premier races drawn from the European and Americas Cup races. The winners of the World Cup truly earn the title of World Champions.
