You must also be accepted as a member of this club at the club’s sole discretion.

There are 3 categories of membership for the BRAVERUNNERS AUSNZ 100 Marathon Club as follows:

To become a 100 Club GOLD member you must have completed 100 marathons in Australia or New Zealand and will be allocated a club membership number.

What makes a marathon eligible for the club are the same rules that have been in place for many years in Australia. Those rules will be upheld and are as follows:

The marathon MUST be completed in a single stage of 42.195kms. For the purpose of the rules 42.195km or 42.2kms is acceptable.

The marathon event MUST be advertised in advance (30 days). If an advertised event is cancelled and the replacement event is scheduled less than 30 days from the original event, the advertised date of the original event will be accepted.

The marathon MUST be advertised as a 42.195km run.

The marathon MUST have a registration process.

The marathon MUST have a Race Director.

The marathon MUST have 3 finishers regardless of how many start.

The marathon results MUST be published and accessible to the BRAVERUNNERS AUSNZ 100 Marathon Club.  By publishing results the Race Director certifies that the runner/walker has completed the marathon honestly to the satisfaction of the RD.

Any advertised distance over the 42.195kms is classified as an Ultra event and therefore is NOT included in marathon totals. Ultra totals will now be included in a members table but no details will be recorded. 

All events must measure the nominated distance of 42.195kms.

If advertised as a marathon (without mention of the distance) then any supporting map should show as 42.195kms, plus allowed error margin of 1km short of 42.195km or 1km long of 42.195kms.

Each marathon cut-off time is entirely up to the Race Directors discretion.

BRAVERUNNERS AUSNZ 100 Marathon Club reserves the right to not accept events or persons for inclusion in the club if any of the listed guidelines are not met.

If unsure whether an event would be considered for inclusion please contact us.
