Maximum Number of Entrants

A maximum of 50 Entrants plus Race Director's invitations will be accepted, in total, for both races through the online entry process. 

Entry Process

Entries will open in two phases. The first phase of entries will be restricted to those who have volunteered at a Hoka OneOne Kep Ultra event previously. The first phase entries will open at 12 Noon Western Standard Time on Sunday 19 February 2012, and close at Midnight, Friday 24 February.

The second phase is for all other entrants. The second phase entry process will open at 12 Noon Western Standard Time on Saturday 25 February 2012 where people can nominate to participate in the entry ballot. This nomination process closes at 12 Noon Western Standard Time on Sunday 26 February. Once the ballot nomination process has closed, a ballot will take place where the remaining places in the field (50 places less the number of previous volunteers who have entered) will be randomly selected from those who entered ballot.

Those who are successful in the ballot will receive an email with a link to the official entry form, and must enter the event by 12 Noon Western Standard Time Tuesday 28 February. Should there be people who registered for the ballot, and have not been successful in securing a place in the ballot, they will be added to a waiting list.

Should there still be places available after the above process has been completed, a link will be made available on the website at 12 Noon Western Standard Time on Wednesday 1 March, allowing people to directly enter the event. Links to the relevant race entry forms will be available on the Race Website on these dates.

Entry Closing Date Entries will close at 12 Noon on Sunday 20 May 2012, or earlier, if the first 50 entries have been received

Remember, that everyone who volunteers, receives a guaranteed entry into the Hoka OneOne Kep Ultra 2013.
