AURA will continue to select teams to represent Australia at future 24 Hour Asian Championships. AURA has a desire to send both a large team and a strong team. Details of future championships and the selection process will be available from this page via documents linked below.
To be considered for selection in general, qualifying standards must be met. Standards may vary for each event. Historically, the primary standard has been 240 km for men and 220 km for women. Athletes who have achieved performances in the range of 220km for men and 200km for women are encouraged to apply.
Australian 24 Hour events on a certified or previously certified 400m track (given the current track certification issue some tracks previously used as qualifiers have now had their certification expire) will be considered for qualifying races as will any IAU labelled event. Overseas events may be considered for qualifying. Immediately past World Championship events are always valid for qualifying purposes.
