Participation & Confirmation Criteria
Many categories (especially Marathon and Half Marathon) use confirmation criteria based on valid timed race results — this means finish times from other officially timed on-ground races can determine entry eligibility as age-group slots fill.
For the Marathon, required timed benchmarks vary by age and gender (e.g., under 7 hrs for 42.195 km or specified times for 25 km/half marathon results).
Half Marathon confirmations also use prior race timings with age-specific cut-offs.
