How it works
Athletes are ranked according to their single fastest time in a qualifying event. Every athlete will appear in the rankings.
Top-ranked athletes in each age group at the end of the 2024 season will be invited to the 2025 AbbottWMM MTT Age Group World Championships within the 2025 TCS New York City Marathon.
Any athlete achieving the Qualifying Time for their age group will receive a notification that they have qualified for an invite to the 2025 AbbottWMM MTT Age Group World Championships.
There will be a total of 2,500 places available for the 2025 World Championship. Qualifiers from the rankings will be determined at the beginning of 2025 when they will be asked to indicate their interest in entering the Championship.
In the unlikely event that an age group is oversubscribed, the runners with the fastest qualifying times in their age group will have first right of refusal along with qualified runners from the 2024 AbbottWMM Global Marathon events.
Full details of this registration process will be communicated in early 2025.
In order to receive an invitation, runners must be registered at AbbottWMM.com.
The AbbottWMM MTT Age Group World Rankings comprise over 370 qualifying races in which athletes in nine separate age groups can compete in marathons across the world to earn a global ranking.
