QUALIFIERS

• The VT100 requires that all 100-mile entrants complete a *qualifying race.
• There is no list of qualifier races. Any legitimate timed event is acceptable

*Runners must have completed a 50-mile race in under 12 hours (after January 1, 2017), a 100km race in under 16 hours (after January 1, 2017), or a 100-mile race in under 30 hours (after July 15, 2016).

• 100-mile runners must submit their qualifier information here by June 1 or they will not be permitted to run.
• There is no qualifier to run in our 100km race.

SERVICE REQUIREMENTS

All runners (100km & 100-mile) must complete at least 8 hours of volunteer service to the greater running community in order to participate in the event.  Service must have been completed within a year of the VT100.

Acceptable volunteer service, ideally, involves:

• Volunteering at a trail or ultra event
• Completing maintenance on a running trail.

*We will accept volunteer work at other (road) running events, or volunteering for an adaptive sports program.

Crewing and pacing DOES NOT COUNT towards the volunteer requirement.

• Service requirements must be submitted by June 15 here.
• If volunteering is a hardship, you may buyout of the volunteer requirement here.

WAIT LIST

After the races fill, you are welcome to enter the wait list here.

As runners withdraw from the race, the top waitlisted runner will automatically be moved into the race and their credit card charged race fees.

CANCELLATION POLICY

The VT100 will offer registered entrants a partial refund of $100 until June 1, 2018. Please email the RD to officially withdraw your entry and ask for a refund.

We do not defer entries to next year’s race. A participant who pays the buy out fee and who officially withdraws by June 1, 2018 can be refunded $100 of that fee as well.
