Sam Jelfs 23 Oct 8:03pm, 23 Oct 2024 1,515 posts	0 Sam Jelfs The 52 national championship winners get a place at Bigs next year, and then the 23 people on the "At Large" list (highest number of yards without winning a national championship) are invited... The qualifying list is on the spreadsheet, on the Qualifying25 tab. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQeFQKht6ubs8DY-hihRnYTq0e3kNI0tMfdooG47qUkJ_Pg3TQMer2_2K5PQxyFvf4P4KcgaE1RQL0M/pubhtml#
Chicken 🐔 Legs 23 Oct 8:37pm, 23 Oct 2024 247 posts	0 Chicken 🐔 Legs Any National Championship winner who exceeds 23 hours goes to Big's. If a nation's runners decide to quit together, then there is no winner, and that place is voided. The rest of the places are filled from the At Large (furthest distance in any event) list. Denmark already have enough distance to guarantee the remaining runners are on the At Large. Once they beat Harvey's 108, I expect they'll call it a day.
