We do not have any mandatory qualification standards, however The Spectacle 100 miler and 100km races are extremely long and challenging runs that enter mountainous environments.  

To enter you must have adequate fitness, mountain running or hiking experience to complete the course in the available time.

*The two different start times for the 50km, 100km, and 100 mile allow participants to take on these challenging distances at their own pace. Due to the differing start times and the potential for each group to face different conditions out on the course, results will be recorded and presented as two separate events.

Therefore, if you wish to be eligible for the podium, you must start in the second heat and compete head-to-head, ensuring a level playing field.

It is up to each athlete to determine which start time is appropriate for them.
