100k Qualifying Races
For 2021: You must show that you have some experience running mountainous terrain in either an organized event or long-haul/FatAss event. Given that no races happened in 2020 or early 2021, we just need to know that you have the fitness and experience to take on the challenge.
Experience would be a 50k race in July of 2019 where you had to climb up a mountain. Or completing the Juan de Fuca trail in one day last summer, or a previous finish of any of the Finlayson Arm races in the last 5 years.
