MTP Models

Legacy MTP (mtp-v1)

Race MTP compares an athlete's finish time against the historically valid world-record curve for their sex and performance date, after converting the course into an equivalent flat effort distance.

1. Race geometry (distance and elevation gain) is converted to an equivalent effort distance in kilometres.
2. The current Legacy MTP effort is the average of Naismith and Method A (the same formulas used when scoring Race Results).
3. That effort distance is looked up on the male or female world-record curve that was valid on the performance date — selected with the same historical rules as scoring.
4. Race MTP = interpolated WR duration ÷ actual duration × 1000.

The chart below shows the WR curves themselves. Competition-specific Naismith / Legacy / Method A markers live on each event's Competition MTP reference chart.
