FIELD LIMITS
The field limits for each race are as follows (these are the same as 2025):
- 80km ultra marathon Solo: 400 runners
- 80km Ultra Marathon teams : 250 teams
- 42km trail marathon: 400 runners
EXPLAINER: We have higher field limits for solos compared to relay teams for the following reasons
- To encourage and foster greatness. Running an ultra marathon is a huge accomplishment, for many people it’s a life changing experience that redefines their limits. Running the ultra is also increasing in popularity – so we want to allow more people to pursue this epic goal.
- Individual runners train all year for this! Running 80km solo is an high-investment activity (time, money etc). We think that if you’re willing to put your hand up to run 80km, you should get the chance to run!
- To provide a better race for everyone. By slightly reducing the number of teams will mean less congestion and easier access to checkpoints and other course areas.
Make no mistake – WE LOVE TEAMS – the new field limits will provide a better balance between solos and teams, reflect current entry trends and will help us provide a better event experience for everyone.
