The top three women and top three men in the final standings form the Series podiums, with awards and prize money for 2027.
The Canadian Skyrunning National Series™ includes all nine Series Races. Six of these nine also carry Skyrunner® National Series (SNS) designation — a second, parallel standings that connects eligible Canadian athletes to the international Skyrunner® World Series and SkyMasters.
Athletes earn the same Series Points in both systems — there's no separate SNS points system. The two standings simply have different qualification requirements: the National Series requires 5 of 9 race finishes (best 4 count), while the SNS requires 4 of 6 eligible race finishes (best 3 count).
