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.  This can be completion of previous mountain running or experience in tramping, adventure racing, or sub 5 hour marathons with a combination of trail running experience.
