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:

1. Athletic excellence including high finishes in RAAM and/or RAAM qualifiers and/or ultra competitions such as the Ultracycling Cup Competition and Mileage Challenge; and,
2. Service to the sport as an event organizer and/or official and/or crew member and/or coach at multiple events; and,
3. Leadership and consideration for and helpfulness of other riders.

Each year cyclists suggest possible candidates to the Board of Directors of the UMCA. The Board then nominates candidates who meet the above criteria for the Hall of Fame. The members of the UMCA elect two individuals to the Hall of Fame. In 2004 Seana Hogan and Lee Mitchell were elected to the Hall of Fame.

Members of the UMCA are invited to propose candidates, based on above criteria. Send your suggestions to Lulu Weschler, Board Secretary November 22 to.

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.)

A nominating Panel will review the prospective candidates and determine a list of nominees. The Panel will be the RAAM director, the UMCA managing director, and the chairs of the UMCA programs: the Ultracycling Cup Competition, the Mileage Challenge and Records. To assure broad representation, the President of the UMCA will also appoint several RAAM qualifier directors and several UMCA Board members to the Panel

The nominees and qualifications will be published in UltraCycling and on the website.
