([raceacrossamerica.bike](https://raceacrossamerica.bike/en/race/categories/?utm_source=openai))\n\nHere are some relevant details and nuances to keep in mind:\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udee3\ufe0f RAAM Solo Qualification Details\n\n- **Solo Riders**: Must complete a **qualifying ride of 400+ miles in 24 hours**, or complete a **500+ mile race within its time limits**. Other recognized endurance events (e.g., Paris-Brest-Paris) may also count. ([raceacrossamerica.bike](https://raceacrossamerica.bike/en/race/categories/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Gender & Age Adjustments**: Standard RQ (RAAM Qualifier) distances may be adjusted based on the course\u2019s elevation profile and for different divisions. For instance, women or older male categories might have slightly lower target distances depending on the course's classified difficulty. ([bikesebring.org](https://www.bikesebring.org/_images/ProposedStandardsRAAM.pdf?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### \u2699\ufe0f Context for Michigan\n\n- The **National 24-Hour Challenge** in Michigan is officially a **24-hour RAAM Qualifier (non-drafting)** event. ([bikereg.com](https://www.bikereg.com/x_oauth_outside?error=login_required&state=%7B%22Url%22%3A%22%2Fthe-new-national-24-hour-challenge%22%2C%22SID%22%3A%22qm44ln5lwp5zuzch2xnedlch%22%2C%22Count%22%3A0%2C%22IsSesame%22%3Afalse%7D&utm_source=openai))  \n- Since it is in the RAAM Qualifier series, the same RAAM rules apply: a solo rider should aim to ride **400 or more miles in 24 hours** to qualify. ([ultracyclingevents.org](https://ultracyclingevents.org/event/mid-atlantic-12-hour-24-raam-qualifier/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you're riding in a different division (e.g., team, age group, or difference in course elevation), let me know\u2014qualification requirements can shift slightly depending on those factors."
