Participation in the Championships is by qualification only, based on event performances recorded during meets 1–3 of the NYRR Summer Speed Series. Athletes qualify using their best time or mark in each event, and the top performers in each discipline will be invited to compete. Championship races will be organized as seeded final heats, with awards presented to top finishers by gender in every event. Invited participants will also receive a special championship registration package.

Schedule of Events:

• Coming soon.
• The event will conclude with a Distance Medley Relay, organized on site to cap off the competition.
