50km WORLDS

A World Trophy 50km final has taken place in most years since 2005. The exceptions were 2008 and 2013 when no event was held. Australia has been involved in some World 50km Trophy Finals, however results are sketchy because this has not always been an event controlled under the auspices of AURA. Similarly, the IAU only started to conduct a formal World Championship 50km event from 2016. With the IAU now better controlling the 50km World Championships, and AURA responsible for Australia team selection it is hoped that representation will continue to improve in future years.

AURA will continued to select teams to represent Australia at future 50km World Championships. AURA has a desire to send both a large team and a strong team. Details of future championships and the selection process will be available from this page via documents linked below.

To be considered for selection in general, qualifying standard must be met. Standards may vary for each event. Historically, the primary standard has been sub 3:00 for men (B and C qualifiers are 3:05 and 3:10) and sub 3:30 for women (B and C qualifiers are 3:40 and 3:50). Athletes who have achieved performances close to these standards are encouraged to apply.

There are numerous events on the AURA race calendar that can be used for qualifying. Some non-AURA events can be considered for qualifying, including some overseas events. Those seeking to qualify for the team at a non AURA listed event are encouraged to seek approval from AURA first, to ensure that their result will be considered. The IAU status of the event and formality of measurement and timing are paramount in any case where a non AURA listed event may be considered for qualifying. Immediately past World Championship events are always valid for qualifying purposes.
