Yes. Solo* and tandem racers may qualify for RAAM at the Hoodoo 500.
The qualifying standards are determined by the UMCA. The UMCA website states:
|
"Qualifying standard A rider must finish within the specified time based on the first rider not currently qualified for RAAM.
For example, Rider A finishes sixth overall in 35 hours. Rider A is not currently qualified to race in RAAM. Rider B, 55-year old man, must finish within 125% of Rider A's time, i.e., 43 hours 45 minutes. Rider C, a woman, wins the womens division in 30 hours. Rider C is not currently qualified for RAAM. Rider D, a 45-year old woman, must finish within 115% of the Rider C's time, i.e., or 34 hours 30 minutes." |
Relay Team Racers do not have to qualify for RAAM.
*Solo includes Voyager racers; however, please note
that Voyager racers will be racing against supported solos for the
purpose of qualifying. The UMCA will not treat Voyagers differently
even though solos have a huge advantage by racing with crew.
Riders completing the solo, tandem, or two-person team divisions
will earn Grand Slam credit.
