Qualification

If the event achieves official status, to qualify to enter either the 75km or 100km Kep Ultra events, in the three year period preceding June 6 2010, competitors will need to have either completed an official marathon in less than 4.5 hours, or finished an official ultra event (exceeding 42.2km) before the event's cut off time. Completion of other equivelant events such as an Ironman Triathlon  will also be considered. Evidence of this may be required to be presented.

Should we not achieve official status, the event will be run "Fat Ass" style as a non official training run. Obviously as this would be totally non official, there would be no pre qualification required. That given, we would strongly suggest people consider not taking part if they had not previously achieved the pre qualification standards outlined above.

We've received a lot of interest already in the 2010 event, and it looks like we will have quite a few more runners than in 2009. Email me if you're interested: rdonkers@iinet.net.au.
