Entry Policies
TUM Miler
Completing a TUMMiler is a physically and mentally challenging event and participation in it requires significant training and preparation. For your health and safety, we require evidence of your ability to take part by meeting this qualification criteria below:
- A 50km or longer run result (Official or Unofficial) between 11:59pm NZT 1 January 2022 and 1 January 2024. It must be uploaded into your event registration either during the initial registration or at a later date via the ACTIVE MyEvents Account.
- Official Result: a web link to the results of your completion of an official trail race, 50km or longer. You must be an official finisher and complete the course within advertised cut off time. This means, for example, you cannot submit a result showing you made it 55km into a 100km race.
- Unofficial Result: a weblink (eg strava link) of the completion of a self-timed run, 50km or longer. The 50km must be completed within a 10 hour time period and a clean GPX recorded
- You will need to submit a web link to your file/result (e.g. Strava Link or Official Race Website) when you sign up – or modify your entry profile at some later date to include that link. This must be completed before 11:59pm NZT 1 January 2024. Failure to do before this date will result in your entry being cancelled.
- Race management reserves the right to reject any result deemed not meeting the above criteria.
- You will only be contacted should your result (official or unofficial) not meet the above criteria. You will be provided an opportunity to re-submit your result prior to the cutoff date of 1 January 2024. In the event you do not meet the criteria by the cutoff date, you will be notified by email and automatically moved into the TUM102. In this email you will be provided with a limited time opportunity to defer into the TUMMiler in the following year (a 10% processing fee applies) provided that your entry has not previously been deferred. Standard athlete withdrawal options apply prior to the 1 January 2024.
tum 102
There is no pre-requisite of competing or finishing any trail running event to participate in the TUM102. However, participating in ultra-trail running events will assist with your start group seeding.
- All participants of the TUM102 should be experienced in trail running, including sufficiently skilled and trained to undertake a trail run event. The course is tough, demanding and is remote in sections that can result in slower first aid / rescue response times. It is a combination of fire trail, narrow walking tracks, some very steep sections on staircases, ladders, river/creek crossings, dirt, on rock and sections that are rough under foot.
- It is the participants responsibility to ensure you are physically fit enough to complete the distance you have entered and monitor your health and condition during the event, including knowing when to withdraw from the event if you are no longer fit enough to continue.
