Dave A Aug 2018 7:46pm, 26 Aug 2018 22,073 posts	0 Dave A I began my training last month with a couple of runs on part of the course as part of our holiday whilst the 50/100 was on. I had a belting couple of hours out doing Ambleside to the finish on the last full morning of the holiday.

jacdaw Aug 2018 8:02pm, 26 Aug 2018 2,068 posts	0 jacdaw My completion of the Ultimate Trails 110k qualified me, but apparently wouldn't this year. Unless I submitted my time at a checkpoint over 50 miles and under 16 hours. Possibly?

zp Aug 2018 9:56pm, 26 Aug 2018 387 posts	0 zp I thought a 50 mile split time might work for qualifying too .. but decided against it anyway. Really fancy Glencoe Skyline next year and don’t think I’ll recover well enough from the 100 to risk it. Good luck on the 1st for anyone entering
jacdaw Aug 2018 10:04pm, 26 Aug 2018 2,070 posts	0 jacdaw I should probably stop now, especially since I don't want to do the event and qualify on the new criteria anyway, but what I was trying to say was... They currently ask for a sub 16 LL50, or a sub 16 LL50 equivalent, or an LL100 finish. Previously entry requirements were a sub 16 LL50 or LL50 equivalent, or an LL100 finish, OR a finish in a suitably mountainous event of more than 50 miles. Which seems a bit odd.
