ALTERNATE QUALIFYING STANDARD

​

We will review applications that do not meet any of the Standard A or Standard B results and will accept those runners based on our sole discretion. If you believe your results match the general competitiveness of the standards above, such as a podium finish at a race with a higher average difficulty level or an FKT where your ITRA points or race time may not accurately match you to the published standard, you may submit an application. The race organization reserves the right to invite a limited number of athletes that do not meet the Standard A or Standard B.
