Before pace. Before splits. Before PRs. You just raced.
TruRace leaderboards are built around matched competition. Paid membership seasons use clear points, fixed calendars, and published prize rules so runners know exactly what they are chasing.
Verified standings
Put the race back in race day.
Membership leaderboards
TruRace uses fixed calendar leaderboards tied to membership tiers. Paid members compete inside clear seasons with published scoring and payout rules.
Winning should be hard
It should not be impossible. Standings are ordered by points, with ties resolved by wins, podiums, and best finish time.
Funded bonus races
Some legacy pilot races can be marked as TruRace-funded bonus races. Those bonus spots are event-specific and separate from standard paid Prize Value access.
How TruRace leaderboards work
TruRace is built on the idea that leaderboard competition should mean something to more than just elite runners. The platform is designed to make leaderboard success feel attainable through repeated strong performances, verified results, and clear scoring.
Membership leaderboards are shaped by verified results, points, wins, podiums, best finish time, and capped training consistency bonuses.
In other words: you need to race well and climb the overall board. Training can help a little, but it cannot replace race performance.
Core leaderboard rules
- Paid membership tiers use fixed calendar leaderboard seasons.
- Only verified results count toward leaderboard standings.
- Approved off-calendar results can add a fixed 5-point verified-result bonus, capped well below a TruRace heat win.
- Unresolved ties show as tied and do not lock in a cash prize until tiebreakers are resolved.
- Prize Value cannot be redeemed directly for leaderboard points.
- Training consistency bonuses are automatic, capped, and small relative to race-result scoring.
- A minimum number of completed races is required to remain fully leaderboard-eligible.
- Each leaderboard counts a member's best 3 races by point total rather than every single race result.
- Race date determines which fixed calendar season receives the result.
- Canceling membership resets current leaderboard prize progress. Members may rejoin, but only points earned after the reset count toward prize eligibility.
- Referral rewards are one-time stored Prize Value grants; they do not add leaderboard points, monthly Prize Builder credit, or raise the normal per-race Current Prize cap.
- TruRace may adjust leaderboard rules and eligibility standards to preserve fairness and integrity.
Scoring and eligibility
Best 3 races count
Leaderboards count each member's best 3 races by point total rather than counting every race equally. This rewards strong performances while still encouraging repeated participation.
Minimum race requirement
TruRace may require completed and verified results for full prize eligibility. This helps prevent the leaderboard from being decided by one isolated appearance.
Fixed calendar seasons
Starter leaderboards run January 1 through December 31. Pro and Elite leaderboards run January 1 through June 30 and July 1 through December 31. A member can join an active season late, but the season dates do not move.
Membership cancellation reset
Canceling membership clears current leaderboard prize progress for the active competition. A member can sign back up and compete again, but the restarted leaderboard run begins from points earned after the cancellation reset.
Training consistency bonus
Qualifying training can add a small automatic bonus to leaderboard scoring. Members do not spend Prize Value for points, and training bonuses cannot replace race-completion requirements.
Off-calendar result bonus
Add a Result submissions are manually reviewed before scoring. Approved results can add a fixed 5-point bonus, but that bonus is intentionally secondary to verified TruRace heat results.
Integrity and verification
- Only official or otherwise verified results are eligible to count.
- TruRace may request supporting evidence, race links, screenshots, or organizer confirmation before a result is counted.
- False submissions, manipulated results, or misleading seed times may lead to removal from a leaderboard, disqualification, or account suspension.
- TruRace may exclude results from races, courses, or conditions that are not reasonably comparable within a given leaderboard framework.
- TruRace may resolve ties, missing data, and unusual edge cases using published rules or administrative review.
- TruRace reserves the right to protect leaderboard integrity over strict automation when unusual cases arise.
How tiers connect to leaderboards
Free tier
The free tier may be included in limited or non-cash leaderboard formats intended to let runners experience the platform and begin building a competitive history.
Paid tiers
Paid membership tiers can include fuller leaderboard participation, prize opt-in access, and tier-specific season schedules tied to the member's active paid access.
Prize-eligible participation
Leaderboards can include heats with and without prize eligibility depending on membership tier, pilot rules, and current product phase. Prize Builder affects prize value, not direct leaderboard rank purchasing.
What this means in practice
Eligible members are ranked inside their active membership leaderboard. Points determine the standings, with wins, podiums, and best time used as tie-breakers.
Some legacy pilot races may still carry capped TruRace-funded bonus spots. Those event bonuses are labeled on race pages and do not replace standard paid Prize Value access.
Prize Builder credits are tracked separately. They can increase the available prize in an eligible heat, but they cannot be spent into leaderboard points.
You signed up for a race. You should get one.
TruRace is building a leaderboard system that rewards meaningful competition, repeated performance, and verified results. The goal is simple: make more runners feel like the competition is actually theirs to chase.
