CALICO SLAM SERIES

** The Red Rock Canyon race on March 1, 2008 inducted the first pioneering finishers of the Calico Slam series! Congratulations finishers! For a complete list of finishers CLICK HERE

Inspired by the Grand Slam of Ultra Running, which is the completion of the 4 premier 100 miler events in the country in one year, the Calico Slam will recognize runners completing multiple Calico Racing events.

Here are the rules and rewards:

1) Slammers must complete 4 Calico Racing events in any given 12 consecutive month period. Runners may choose among all Calico Racing events which ones they plan to run. At present there are 7 events to choose from.

2) There are 3 Slam divisions: The Calico Slam; The Calico 1/2 Slam; and the Calico Mega Slam. See below for details.

3) Slammers who complete the slam will be distinguished on this website as finishers. This web entry will include the Runners' name, Slam division, Races run, Race dates, and times if you wish. This is not a competition; since Slammers may utilize different races to obtain Slammer status it would not be fair to compare finishing times on different courses. Slammers will be listed in order of completion date.

4) There is no need to proclaim your quest for the Slam, though I would love to know about your pursuit! Upon entry into your 4th and final event of the Slam, please inform me via email at info@calicoracing.com so that I can make necessary accomodations for your accomplishment!

5) Special awards and designations will be given to Slam finishers. Due to the added cost of properly recognizing Slammers' accomplishments, no repeat runner discounts will be given.

SLAM DIVISIONS

Calico Slam: The Calico Slam honors runners who complete the Marathon race distance at 4 Calico Races in any given consecutive 12 month period.

Calico 1/2 Slam: The Calico 1/2 Slam honors runners who complete the 1/2 Marathon race distance at 4 Calico Races in any given consecutive 12 month period.

Calico Mega Slam: The Calico Mega Slam honors runners who "super size" the Calico Slam by completing the Ultramarathon distance races, when available, at 4 Calico Races in any given consecutive 12 month period. Not all events have an Ultramarathon distance, such as the Extraterrestrial Full Moon Midnight races and the Red Rock Races. When running an event without an ultra option, Mega Slammers must run the longest distance available, not to be shorter than marathon distance. However, if the race offers an ultra distance, that must be taken. For example, a runner will be considered a Calico Mega Slammer by running: The Running with the Devil 50 Mile Run; The Extraterrestrial Marathon, The Red Rock Marathon, and the Lovell Canyon 50K. However, if the runner completes the Devil Marathon instead of the 50 miler, this will not qualify for Mega Slam status. Any questions, please email me and ask via info@calicoracing.com .
