The European Ultramarathon Cup, also known as the Europacup Ultramarathon (ECU), was an annual cup event covering some of the biggest Ultramarathon races in Europe from 1992 until 2019.

History

The European Ultramarathon Cup began after the fall of the Berlin Wall before that year's Rennsteiglauf, at the time the biggest sporting event in East Germany. Representatives from the Rennsteiglauf, the Biel running days, and the Swabian Alb Marathon met to organize the first series. It was expanded to an annual series with a yearly award ceremony in 2002.

League

For a league score, for each runner the three best races during a calendar year were scored. The weighting factor was calculated based on the best finishing times during the previous year and is normalized on the finishing time of the 100 km Del Passatore. The runners were ranked based on their average score.
