The number of races has varied from year to year. Each of the races is approximately 100 miles (160 km) long and primarily off-road. The title of series champion is awarded to the racer with the four best results in each of the following categories: Men's Open, Women's Open, Men's Masters (age 50+), and Single speed. Any ties are broken by the placing results in the final race of the series.{{cite web|title=NUE Series Rules|url=http://nuemtb.com/info/rules|website=NUE Series|accessdate=10 March 2017}}
History

The list below includes those races that will be in the 2017 series.{{cite web|title=NUE 2017 Series Calendar|url=http://nuemtb.com/series/2017-series-calendar|website=National Ultra Endurance Series|accessdate=10 March 2017}} Some of these races were run before joining the NUE series.
