TD doesn't have entry criteria, and I think Matthew Lee is really proud of that fact. But if it gets really popular, they may have to introduce it. Highland Trail Race has entry requirements (have to have done Lakeland 200, Bear Bones 200, Welsh Coast to Coast (N>S) and a few others like Colorado Trail Race, Arizona Trail Race or Tour Divide). Alan introduced these criteria because HTR is dangerous, and some noob caught in bad weather could get hypothermia and die pretty bloody fast!
I've qualified for it, hopefully I wont die.
