There isn't any winner but it diminishes the accomplishment of finishing 100km 160km.
A lot of people relatively speaking can do a half marathon but doing a full marathon takes more training and dedication to complete. Would I be putting in the same amount of effort in a marathon if I did all the downhill segments in wheelies? or used a walking sidewalk while doing a marathon at an airport.
If your not putting in the effort to do it yourself what would the point be in doing the extra distance. It is an endurance challenge not a how long I can sit on a saddle endurance challenge. I don't care if it is done for the 5-25km rides because they are for fun. But if you can't bang out the longer lengths on your own but want to participate there is 10, 15, 25km options.
