• Participate in any official Backyard Ultra during the two-year qualifying period (16/08/2024 - 16/08/2026).

• If you are among the first fourteen in the rankings as of 16.08.2024 among the results made in the qualification period, then you are in the team!!! It is also worth paying attention to the following ones, because in the case of the first withdrawals, the following ones will get a chance!

• An automatic place in the team is ensured by the victory of Heavy Metal Ultra, Estonia's only silver ticket competition in 2026

• Estonians and persons permanently living in Estonia can enter the team.

• In the event of the same results, they are ranked as follows: 1. The results that won the Backyard Ultra in the first order. 2. The next strongest is the so-called "assist" result, i.e. the result with which the penultimate one has been. 3. The third strongest is the result made earlier in date. 4. If the equivalent results have been made in the same competition and they are not the results of a win or an "assist" and their place in the ranking depends on getting into the team, then their owners should try to come to an agreement between themselves, which one will get into the team. If an agreement is not reached, the decision will be made by the Estonian satellite competition organizing committee.

• All team members must confirm their participation in the World Cup no later than 23.08.2026.

The result is suitable for participation in the official Backyard Ultra held anywhere in the world, no other ultra running result will help to qualify for the team. Not even a 100km world record! All official races can be found on the following page: https://backyardultra.com/races/
