Runners ITRA Profile
It costs 8 EUR a year to be a member of ITRA, an international off-road runners' association and World Athletics advisory body for off-road running. We encourage runners to become members of ITRA so that they can fly well with their ITRA home ground and success. You can register on the ITRA website itra.run.
It is the responsibility of the race organisation to submit ITRA results, which will then be displayed in the runner's profile. Runners can see the results, points and statistics from the races on their profile. It is important for runners to check carefully whether they have two or more home areas at ITRA. This can happen when runners register for races in different ways, e.g. sometimes using a middle name when registering and sometimes not. Runners profiles can be merged if more than one, instructions are available here below or on the ITRA website. We strongly recommend that runners inspect their ITRA areas.
Performance Index
Performance Index is the number that appears at the top of the runner's home page in a black box. This number is the average of the five best races in the last three years, 2020, 2021 and 2022. This is the number that runners need to keep in mind when registering for the Laugavegur Ultra Marathon. All runners must have at least 370 points = Performance Index 370+. For your information, runner that completes the Laugavegur Ultra marathon in 9 hours and 30 minutes gets 370 ITRA points.
We encourage runners once again to check their ITRA home area and make sure everything is listed correctly.
Remember this is not needed for the year 2022, but necessary for the registration for 2023. We encourage you to sign up on ITRA and start collection your Performance Index.
