Trail & Ultra Series

What It Is

The RF Events Trail and Ultra Series, formerly known as the GOAT Series, recognizes runners who go beyond a single finish line and commit to the full trail experience. Spanning multiple events and distances throughout the season, the series is designed to reward consistency, resilience, and a true connection to the trails.

Participants earn points across select RF Events trail races, with standings that reflect both performance and dedication.
