FAQ

Every athlete who stands at the starting line of an IUTA sanctioned race can freely chose to be a member in the IUTA waiver.

No athlete has to pay an (additional) fee over and above the organizer's entry fee to become a member of IUTA.

The next election will be latest in October 2025.

• From 2025 on: Your e-mail address, delivered by the organizer, is wrong for whatever reasons.
  The e-mail address you entered in the IUTA Waiver (until 2024) is not correct, not readable or no longer up to date.
  Just send us your correct or (new) address via our contact form and allow us to note/update it.
• Your mailbox is full and does not accept new incoming e-mails.
• Maybe our e-mail is stored in your spam box.
• Maybe the policy of your e-mail provider or employer blocks our e-mails.
• You are not a IUTA member.
  Explanation 1: In order to comply with the conditions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we made the decision to delete all existing member's personal data after the 2018/2019 committee handover. We only process the data of those athletes who have been on the starting line of an IUTA competition since January 2019 and have authorized us to do so in writing.
  Explanation 2: In order to keep the status of our members up to date, we have defined by constitution that athletes and organizers lose their IUTA membership after five years without participation or organization. Athletes, please check the IUTA Five-Years-Ranking to see if you are still a possible member.

In case of doubt, the IUTA world records apply. Not all world record holders attach importance to get an entry in the Guiness Book of Records. Furthermore we can't say anything about the content or quality of other websites. IUTA exclusively maintains its own website according to the quality standards mentioned here.

No, we do not work with operators of other social media channels, except with our organizers and sponsors. Any publications of IUTA contents intended for internal purposes is the sole responsibility of the person publishing it and are made without our knowledge and without our consent. We hereby expressly distance ourselves from any content, in particular untruths, half-truths, defamation regarding our members, our events and IUTA itself on all social media channels and websites not operated by IUTA.

Welcome to IUTA. First step is to let us know that you're interested in to bring your event to the IUTA race calendar. Write us a short e-mail via our contact form. You have to fulfil at least requirements as follows that we agree in writing in a contract.

Yes, you can choose the cut-off times freely, but they must be published on your website before the race. The IUTA only gives recommendations in its rules, section "TIME LIMITS AND BREAKS/RESTARTS".

Of course, IUTA appreciates records accordingly, but the main thing in ultra-triathlon is to cover the distance. We as an association consider it to be cheating on athletes and also on organizers, whose courses meet the minimum dimensions, if race courses are too short. We also want to prevent "undercutting competition" between organizers who advertise with new best times on their (too short) race courses.
