Selected Team members must be members in good standing of the Association of Canadian Ultramarathoners ( ACU ) for the current year or in the process of becoming members.
Selected Team members agree to abide by the ACU Team Members Code of Conduct and Athletics Canada / IAAF Rules and Regulations.
A reminder to all athletes selected for the National 24 Hrs Team, that the ACU is self-funded and that any funding available will be announced as they materialize. The ACU is making every effort to bring on board sponsors to minimize the cost to the athletes but in case of limited funding some of the cost might have to be covered by the athletes themselves.
