Qualifying times must be met in competitions observing the rules and/or guidelines set forth by the B.A.A., USA Track and Field or foreign equivalent, International Paralympic Committee, Wheelchair Sports, USA, Disabled Sports, USA, and the United States Association for Blind Athletes. Proof of qualification must accompany the application (you can indicate in your online application the qualifying race you've run).
