To qualify as an ultra race the event has to be a "recognised event" (by the club's committee) over a distance of in excess of 30 miles. If you have any doubt that the event you are planning to take part in will be a "recognised event" please check with a member of the committee at least seven days before you take part. There are many well established ultra races on the calendar now and these will obviously be "recognised" but if you have any doubt about the race you intend to take part in please do check first to avoid disappointment. Claims should also be made to Lee Holloway with details of a race you have completed at each distance giving full details of the event (results link if possible), the date of the event, your time and position. Please note that if you qualify for the Super Slam Hat you will not also be awarded the Grand Slam Hat. Important noticeIt is your responsibility to claim your hat when you've completed the "set" of races. To do this please email Lee Holloway the details of a race you have completed at each of the distances giving the event date, name and your result. A list of those qualifying for each hat will be published on this web page, updated on a more or less monthly basis. |
