The Ultracycling Hall of Fame honors cyclists whose careers best exemplify the spirit of the sport. The members of the Hall of Fame demonstrate each of the following:
- Athletic excellence including high finishes in RAAM and/or RAAM qualifiers and/or the Ultracycling Cup/World Cup and/or Mileage Challenge and/or Records; and,
- Service to the sport as UMCA volunteer and/or an event organizer and/or official and/or crew member and/or coach at multiple events; and,
- Leadership and consideration for and helpfulness of other riders.
Each year cyclists suggest possible candidates for the Hall of Fame. A nominating Panel will review the prospective candidates and determine a list of nominees. The Panel will include selected Program chairs, RAAM Qualifier directors and Board members.
The members of the UMCA elect two individuals to the Hall of Fame.
RAAM veterans Dr. Ron Bell and Walt Chapman coordinate the Hall of Fame nomination process.
Members of the UMCA are invited to propose candidates, based on above criteria.

Each prospective candidate will be invited to submit a statement (up to 350 words) describing how s/he meets these criteria. (Prospective candidates are not required to submit a statement.)
The nominees and qualifications will be published in UltraCycling and on the website.
