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. The 2024 rankings are now closed.
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.
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 350 qualifying races in which athletes in nine separate age groups can compete in marathons across the world to earn a global ranking.
Currently there are not enough races which have non-binary categories with sufficient numbers to create meaningful competition and accordingly the AbbottWMM MTT Age Group World Rankings and Championships are unable to offer a non-binary option for qualification. This will be kept under annual review.
However, in the 2025 Age Group World Championships, our host race, the TCS New York City Marathon, is offering a non-binary category as part of the Age Group World Championships as a trial program. Find out more information by visiting here.
