We do not have any mandatory qualification standards, however The Spectacle 100 mile 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. 

CUT OFF TIMES*

10km: 2.5 hrs
22km: 7 hrs
50km Start A: <8hr hr estimated finishing time
50km Start B: 8-14 hrs estimated finishing time
100km Start A: Sub 18 hr estimated finishing 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, if you wish to be eligible for the podium, you must start in the A start for your event and compete head-to-head, ensuring a level playing field.

The only exception to this is the 100 mile female race where a decision around who is eligible for the podium will be determined once entries have closed, and effected athletes will then be notified as soon as possible.

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