But it's not always the case. For example, GWR rules didn't require any officials for a LEJOG attempt (at least in 2014 when I tried), so I don't see why they'd require them for a LEJOGLE one. You can pay extra and have officials present so as to immediately validate a successful record, but it's not normally a requirement.
"3.1 You may request that a GWR adjudicator attend your Record Attempt. GWR will be under no obligation to agree to such a request but if so, GWR may require that you pay a fee and expenses, which may include at GWR’s sole determination, airfare, accommodation and daily attendance fee for the adjudicator. If GWR agrees to provide an adjudicator for your Record Attempt, it is agreed that the parties will enter into a separate agreement for such services."
Yeah, those were the UMCA/WUCA rules. They were quite clear about that, one official for short attempt and two if it lasts more than 24 hours I think. Though they might accept something else if it's something really long. Atleast GWR looks like it would. The year record was approved by UMCA so they must have done something else than what those rules say.
