The competition was split in two parts:the four marathon events (including the wheelchair marathon) were scheduled to the day 30 July and the other 54 events were held between 2 and 7 August 2022, spread across 58 events (including 10 para athletics events).[2]

Race walks

[edit]

In addition to the variations that traditionally occur for EAD events, there was a change in the athletics program in relation to the Gold Coast 2018, which was the reduction of the distance of race walking events from 20 km to 10 km.The athletes entered for the 10 km march had to meet the following Minimum Participation Standards between 1 January 2021 and 27 June 2022:[7]

  • Men – 44:00 (or 1:30:00 over 20 kilometres)
  • Women – 51:00 (or 1:45:00 over 20 kilometres)

All selections were made from nations' open allocation quotas.

Parasport

[edit]

A total of up to 96 para athletes (48 per gender) qualified to compete at the Games. Nations may earn three quotas per event, allocated as follows:[8]

  • Athletes in the World Para Athletics (WPA) World Rankings (for performances between 31 December 2020 and 25 April 2022).
  • Recipients of a CGF/WPA Bipartite Invitation.
