ENTRY REQUIREMENT

COMPLETE A QUALIFYING RACE

To participate in the Bow Valley Ultra 100 mile event, you must finish a minimum 50-mile trail race between January 1, 2024, and August 31, 2025. While there are no vertical gain or technical criteria for the qualifying race, the event must take place on at least 75% natural, non-paved surfaces to be considered valid.

 

The qualifying run must be completed within the official cutoff times of the race.

 

Completing 50 miles or more as part of a last person standing event is acceptable if the distance is clearly listed in the official results.

 

Completing at least 50 miles within 12 hours at a fixed-time event is also acceptable.

 

Not Accepted:

• Virtual events, FKTs (Fastest Known Times), classic lines, stage races, and Fat Ass runs.

• Races that do not have full permitting from relevant land management agencies.

• Events that illegally utilize public lands, bypass permitting through small start lists, or request “suggested donations” in place of entry fees.

 

​Please complete the form below to submit proof of successful completion of qualifying race.

​

Completed forms must be submitted no later than August 31, 2025.​
