What qualifying times are accepted, and from which races?

Question

Accepted Answer

Every entrant must finish an approved qualifying race between 15 June 2026 and 3 May 2027 (Entry Terms clause 7.5). The race must be at least 42.2km and meet the CMA's technical and verification standards. Only official published results count; Garmin, Strava and other personal-device records are not accepted.

Qualifying race distance	Maximum time
42.2km	4:59:59
48km	5:59:59
50km	6:09:59
52-54km	6:29:59
56km	6:59:59
60km	7:39:59
64km	8:14:59
80km	10:34:59
90km	11:59:59
100km	13:34:59

You can enter before you qualify, but you must submit the qualifier by 3 May 2027 or lose your entry. The CMA may verify results with the organiser or timing provider and reject results that can't be verified, belong to someone else or were achieved by a prohibited method.
