IBA Mile Eater Program
The Iron Butt Association Mile Eater program acknowledges members who complete multiple certified
rides. There are different levels of Mile Eaters, each one more difficult than the last and clearly
designating the hard core riders:
Mile Eater
Anyone who completes more than one certified ride but NOT on the same ride, for example, your first ride is
a SaddleSore 1000 and at a later date, you complete another certified ride, such as a Bun Burner 1500. However,
completing a SaddleSore 1000 AND Bun Burner 1500 on the same continuous ride is not eligible for Mile Eater status.
Mile Eater Certification
TWO or more certified rides makes members eligible to acquire Mile Eater items such as stickers, shirts and pins - no certification is needed to
order those items, the store manager checks your status before shipping Mile Eater items.
For those interested in a summary of their ride history in one document, optional Mile Eater certifications are available by completing the application at the end of this document sending in a list of your rides and paying a nominal fee.
Mile Eater BRONZE
Bronze status is earned by completing at least FIVE certified rides, of which 2 must be GOLD or INSANITY level or greater than 48 hours in duration
without a time limitation (you can earn Bronze status over several years).
Mile Eater BRONZE certifications are available (application at the end of this document).
Mile Eater SILVER
Silver status is earned by completing at least FIVE certified rides, of which 2 must be GOLD or INSANITY level or greater than 48 hours in duration
in ONE YEAR (12 consecutive months from first ride to last ride).
Mile Eater SILVER certifications are available (application at the end of this document)
Mile Eater GOLD - Our most extreme riders!
GOLD status is earned by completing at least TWENTY certified rides, of which FIVE must be GOLD or INSANITY level or greater than 48 hours in duration
without a time limitation (you can earn GOLD status over several years).
Mile Eater GOLD certifications are available (application at the end of this document)
NEW CHANGES FOR 2012
We are excited to introduce a new Mile Eater II logo for 2012. Although the logo is new, it maintains the rich Mile Eater heritage
by depicting endless riding through the day and night, sometimes under harsh conditions (the desert) and sometimes the perfect night
watching the moon rise across the horizon. The snake reinforces IBA riders are serious about eating up big miles!
SHIRTs are GILDAN (which Lisa thinks run slightly large) color is DARK HEATHER EXCEPT for XXXL which is BLACK.
