I've just realised I'm eligible for the 100! I assumed that because my last 50+ mile race was back in 2018 I couldn't enter, but apparently any previous L100 completion qualifies you. Was that always the case?

Not 100% on entering, but thinking about it now ..

Are you sure? It's usually a 100 completion in the last two year's events, which they've now extended back to include 2019 (for the obvious reasons!).

Unless they've just changed it again?

To gain a place in the 100 mile event, you must have achieved ONE of the following criteria:
1. You must have completed the Montane Lakeland 50 in less than 16 hours, dated 2019-2021
2. You have previously completed the Lakeland 100 (any year)
3. You have completed another trail ultra of 100 miles+, dated 2019-2021
4. You have completed an event over 50 miles on mountain terrain (Lakes / Scotland / Snowdonia) with 3000m+ of ascent within the same timescale (sub 16hrs / 50 miles), dated 2019-2021

What Dave said; that’s the list I was looking at. Maybe there’s some other list of criteria somewhere, Facebook perhaps.

I looked a few years ago but wasn’t eligible, so it’s definitely changed. Imagine it’s just a one off due to Covid cancellations, so going to take a punt on the ballot to try and save having to do a qualifying race in future.

That could make getting through the ballot more of a challenge!

I’ve entered the ballot for the 50 again - but not holding out much hope, there are a lot of names on the list.

I've entered the ballot for the 50 too. First timer! I feel it needs to be on the CV somewhere!

There’s nearly 3000 names on the combined 50 and 100 list!
It’ll be like trying to get into London soon :(
