How do youth participants qualify for the 800 Meter Invitational Run for 10 – 12 year olds?
There is no qualifying event prior to the Jamboree and no requirement of documented proof for the 800 meter. The 800 Meter Invitational is a showcase for talented mid-distance runners and we ask that only athletes who can reasonably expect to finish by the set times (2:35 for boys and 2:45 for girls) register for the race.
