The Desert Solstice Track Invitational is an elite level event for record setting and as an ideal qualifier for the national  24 Hour team.

This event is by invitation or qualification only.

For the 24 Hour/100 Mile, entry is limited to 25 runners total.

Qualification Standards and Entry Fees
Runners meeting one of the listed qualifying standards may apply for acceptance into Desert Solstice.  The entry fee applies to all runners regardless of qualification time, and all runners are eligible to earn prize money for their performances as listed below.  Runners may request acceptance at other race lengths (e.g. 100k, 12 Hour) for comparable performances.

Runners who have met the “A” Standard can gain entry at any point until the race reaches the 30 person max capacity. Runners who meet the “B” Standard may be considered on a case-by-case basis for auto entry or placed on a wait-list. Spots for “B” standard applicants will be awarded in performance-order based on availability 1-week after USATF 24 Hour National Championship.

Qualifying marks must be recent – no older than December 1, 2020. The 2023 Desert Solstice will not be making adjustments to qualification standards based on age group performances.
