What is the GRAND SLAM mission?
The purpose of the Grand Slam is to encourage and then recognize cyclists dedicated to the Planet Ultra brand of events. We love our repeat customers; and want you to keep coming back. We also want you to spread your wings and experience other incredible events in California and beyond.

The Grand Slam Endurance Series Challenge extends beyond the borders of Planet Ultra, providing more opportunities in California and other western states, for you to earn the coveted GRAND SLAM jersey.

TWO WAYS TO ACHIEVE THE GRAND SLAM:

Complete four qualifying Planet Ultra events in a calendar year.

Complete two qualifying Planet Ultra events plus two “Other” events.

How do we recognize Grand Slam Finishers?**

Each year, we recognize and honor our amazing, greatly appreciated, loyal repeat customers as follows:

We keep accurate records of every member of this elite squad on our website and we publicize them through our e-newsletter and social media. Grand Slam Endurance Series Official Finishers have serious bragging rights and we make it easy for any doubters to verify their claims!

We offer a stylish and very exclusive jersey that only Grand Slam cyclists are permitted to obtain and wear. We’ll have a new Grand Slam design every year. Grand Slam jerseys are only available by special order placed in November (of course we’ll remind you). We won’t inventory Grand Slam gear. If you’ve earned it, and you want it, you’ll place your order and we’ll have it made just for you!
 
All Grand Slam finishers receive a special gift of thanks at the end of the cycling season. If you’ve earned it, we’ll mail it to you.
 
All Grand Slam finishers will be entered into a drawing to win a FREE Planet Ultra single day event for the following season.
 
** For now, we’re not collecting results from other event organizers. If you completed the Grand Slam with non-Planet Ultra events and you wish to be recognized, you need to let us know no later than end of November.
