You can qualify in the UK if you feel like it , you'll have to be quick to inform them of your intention.
5) British 24-Hour Championship
Although not sanctioned by nor supported by the UMCA, riders may use the British 24-Hour to qualify for RAAM under the following conditions:
the rider is a current, annual member of the UMCA, and
the rider informs the UMCA by letter or e-mail before the 24-hour that the rider intends to use the 24-hour to attempt to qualify for RAAM, and
the rider meets the qualifying standard for a division:
British 24-Hour July
Qualifying Standard
Men Women
18-49 years old 425 miles 400 miles
50-59 400 miles 375 miles
60-69 375 miles 350 miles
There has been some talk of LEL being a qualifier, I have no idea how that would work.
