News update: The 2019 TUS 24 Hr TT will be a RAAM RQ race. Men have to ride 380 miles to RQ. Women and 60+ men have to ride 350 miles to RQ. This will equate to 51 laps on the 7.48 mile course (381,5 miles).

The course route will be a 7.48 mile loop, the same one used in previous events know as the short loop. It will be smoother than old course.RAAM Qualification Standards

FROM THE RAAM SITE

▪ Racers must average 10.5 mph in a “RAAM Style” RQ or finish the event within the event’s official cut-off time, which ever is faster.



▪ Currently, there are ten 24-hour RAAM Qualifiers. Using these ten events we created four categories of difficulty based largely on feet per mile of climbing. We established RQ Standards for each event based on these categories.



Following are the RQ Standards for each of the ten 24-hour RQs:



0 – 25 feet/mile – RQ Standard: Men 400 miles/Women 370 miles

• Mid-Atlantic (Washington, NC) – 6.9 feet/mile

• Bessie’s Creek 24 (Brookshire, TX) – 9.1 feet/mile

• Sebring 24-Hour (Sebring, FL) – 10.2 feet/mile

• 6-12- 24 Hour WTTC (Borrego Springs, CA) – 18.9 feet/mile

• IL24TE (Urim, Israel) – 24.1 feet/mile



25-50 feet/mile – RQ Standards: Men 380 miles/Women 350 miles

• Calvin's Challenge (Springfield, OH) – 27.6 feet/mile

• Revolve24 - Bend Motorsports Park (Adelaide, Australia) – 32 feet/mile

• Texas Time Trials 24-Hour (Glen Rose, TX) – 47.7 feet/mile

• Pace Bend 24-Hour (Austin, TX) – 50 feet/mile,

TEXAS ULTRA SPIRIT (41 Feet/mile)

50-75 feet/mile – RQ Standards: Men 360 miles/Women 335 miles

No races at present



75-100 feet/mile – RQ Standards: Men 340 miles/Women 315 miles

• Revolve24 - Brands Hatch (London, UK) – 88 feet/mile



The RQ Standard for 60+ men is the same as for women for each of the ten events.

Some of these events are run on a single loop and others a combination of 2 or 3 loops. To calculate elevation gain for the multi-loop events, we weighted each loop based on the estimated number of circuits of the loop and/or time spent on each loop. These vary depending upon event rules. We used the best available information.
