My status

Requires one of several ultra-distance performance standards from the prior ~2 years (e.g. at least 120km men/110km women in a 12-hour race, or a 100-mile finish within 21:00 men/22:00 women hours). Top performers, single-country representatives, and 10+-time veteran finishers auto-qualify.
