How do runners get invited to the marathon Olympic trials?

The marathon Olympic trials are a qualifying event for the Olympic Games. To be invited to the trials, runners must meet certain criteria.

For the 2020 Olympic trials, the qualifying standards were as follows:

  • Men: 2:19:00
  • Women: 2:45:00

Runners who met these standards were automatically invited to the trials. In addition, a limited number of discretionary invitations were given to runners who did not meet the automatic qualifying standards but who had demonstrated their potential to run at an elite level.

The 2020 Olympic trials were held in Atlanta, Georgia, on February 29, 2020. The top three finishers in each race qualified for the Olympic Games.
