Finishing any race on this list inside its cutoff earns you one entry into the Western States Endurance Run lottery — it is not an entry to Western States itself. The qualifying window runs roughly from the prior November through the qualifying deadline; check each race’s edition against the WSER calendar.

Qualifier flags reflect WSER's published list as of 2026-06-11; the list refreshes each September. Always confirm on the official WSER site before you count on it.
