Must complete a qualifier within the qualification window
Qualifying window for 2027: January 01, 2024 – October 14, 2026
For 2026: must have completed an off-road ultra marathon of at least 65km within the 34 months before entry opens (1 November 2025). From 2027: minimum of 90 miles across no more than 2 off-road ultras within the preceding 3 years. All qualifying decisions are at the Race Director's discretion — no fixed list of qualifying races, but experience must suggest the runner can finish within cutoffs on remote, hilly trail.
