SUMMARY:JUL 2026 U.S. Para Track & Field Calendar: Toyota USATF & Para Nationals (New York)
DESCRIPTION:Note that Athletes Without Limits provides Class T20 & F20 (Intellectual Impairment) National reviews for U.S. Paralympics for this event\, but is not otherwise involved in organizing USATF/U.S. Paralympics meets or team trips like we do for Virtus events. Interested athletes should complete eligibility with Athletes Without Limits\, but otherwise should register directly for Paralympic meets\, and travel with their home team/coach or individually to participate.\nTHE INFORMATION BELOW IS FOR ATHLETES WITH\nINTELLECTUAL DISABILITY (T20/F20 Class) \nHosted by USATF  and Sanctioned by World Para Track & Field \nEvent Name: 2026 Toyota USATF Outdoor & Para National Track & Field Championships \nEvent Date: July 23-26\, 2026 \nLocation: Icahn Stadium at Randall’s Island Park\, New York \nEvent Webpage: www.usatf.org/events (Search by ‘Para’ filter) \nRegistration: Athletes should register directly with the event organizers (individually or as part of their home team) using the link on the event’s website. Check the event page for deadlines. \nEligibility Criteria: Paralympic meets are open to athletes with a physical impairment\, visual impairment\, or Class T20/F20  intellectual impairment (Note that Class T20/F20 is only open to athletes with Virtus II1 (and Virtus II2 with dual II1 eligibility) — Virtus II3 are not eligible for Paralympics as they don’t meet the IQ and Adaptive Behavior criteria). \nTime Standards: There are time/entry standards for the four events open to athletes with T20/F20 classification for this event which are 400m\, 800m\, Shotput and Long Jump. Check the meet page/packet for details. (Other events with “Open” in their name do not have qualification time standards.) \nClassification Deadline for New T20 /F20 Athletes: Note that National classification ‘appointments’ offered at US Paralympics events are only for athletes with physical or visual impairment. New athletes with Intellectual Impairment should complete AWL-Virtus Eligibility Application and submit (along with photoID\, IQ and Adaptive Behavior assessments) to Athletes Without Limits at least 6 weeks prior to event registration deadline. AWL will inform U.S. Paralympics of new athletes who have completed National T20/F20 eligibility for Classification. \nCriteria for Intellectual Impairment T20 Class: Athletes with Intellectual Impairment should complete Athletes Without Limits Virtus Eligiblity application in lieu of a classification appointment. Athletes who meet the Virtus II1/Paralympic S14 eligibility criteria below are eligible to compete in Paralympic-sanctioned swim meets: \n\nIQ Assessment showing IQ of 75 or lower\,\nAdaptive Behavior Assessment showing significant limitation in at least one domain area\, and\nOnset before age 22\nA full report from a licensed psychologist with detailed scores\, results and analysis from the above assessments with a confirmed diagnosis of Intellectual Disability\, Mild\, Moderate or Severe.\n\nSpecial note to athletes with Autism: Athletes with Autism must have an IQ of 75 or lower and significant limitations in Adaptive Behavior (70 or lower in at least one domain) to be eligible for Paralympic T20/F20 Track & Field. This is different from AWL trips to Virtus-sanctioned meets\, which offer an additional competition group for those with Autism who don’t also have a diagnosis of Intellectual Disabilty (called Virtus II3 Autism Open) – so we encourage you to apply for eligibility for Virtus events! \nSpecial note to swimmers with Down Syndrome: The Paralympic S14 class is only open to athletes who meet the Virtus II1 Criteria for Intellectual Disability\, which is based on IQ and Adaptive Scores\, onset before 22 and a formal diagnosis of Intellectual Disability. This is different from AWL trips to Virtus-sanctioned meets which offer a separate competition group specifically for athletes with Down Syndrome (called Virtus II2). Therefore swimmers with Down Syndrome should apply for dual eligibility in the Virtus II1 group (based on their IQ and Adaptive Scores) in order to be classified for Paralympics\, and also the Virtus II2 group (which is based on a Cytogenetic Report showing Trisomy 21 or Translocation Down Syndrome) for Virtus events. \n

SUMMARY:TBA 2026 2nd Minnesota Adaptive Open Golf Championships
DESCRIPTION:Note that Athletes Without Limits only confirms Virtus eligibility for athletes with intellectual impairment to get their WR4GD Pass from EDGA — and is not the host of this event. Please review the event website and reach out to the Minnesota Golf Association for event questions other than Virtus eligibility as there may be additional qualifying requirements. \nMinnesota Golf Association (MGA) Launches Minnesota Adaptive Open: \nRead the Feb 2025 Announcement \nVisit the MGA competition calendar for event details and to register. \n\nDate & Location:\nLast year the Minnesota Golf Association (MGA) launched it’s inaugural Minnesota Adaptive Open at the Braemar Golf Course in Edina. There will likely be a 2026 event  @ September — check the MGA website for dates and details. \nCheck the . \n\nRegister on MGA Website:\nSee the MGA web calendar for registration information and deadlines:\nRegister on USGA  Website\nEligibility for New Golfers with Intellectual Impairment:\n \nThis event requires a WR4GD pass though EDGA.\nEDGA requires players with an Intellectual Impairment to first confirm their Virtus International Level Eligibility. US Players can apply for Virtus eligibility through Athletes Without Limits (USA Virtus Member) from our Virtus Eligibility Application Page. \n\n\nWhile Virtus events and some EDGA International Golf events are open to athletes in all three Virtus Eligibility Groups\, this event\, like the U.S. Adaptive Open and USDGA Ping Championships have chosen to follow Paralympic Classification. This means only athletes who meet the following three criteria are eligible: \n\n\nIQ of 75 or lower on WISC\, WAIS or Stanford Binet (given within last 5 years*)\nAt least one domain score of 70 or lower on an ABAS or Vineland Adaptive Behavior (given within the last 5 years*.)\nAge of onset before 22.\n\n*Note that athletes with Down Syndrome who also provide their cytogenetic report showing Trisomy21 or Translocation can provide IQ and Adaptive reports from more than 5 years ago. \nNot all athletes with Autism will meet the IQ and/or Adaptive criteria above – we encourage you to apply for your Virtus II3 Open Autism eligibility as there are some other events open to all Virtus groups. \n\nTo lean more and apply for eligibility visit our Golf page for “Three Steps to Become Eligible to Compete as a WR4GD World Ranked Player with Intellectual Impairment”\n\n*New players with intellectual impairment should apply to Athletes Without Limits as early as possible (at least 12 weeks prior to registration closing) to confirm International level Virtus eligibility in time to get your WR4GD Pass for an event. This is due to the time it takes for us to hear back confirmation from the Virtus International Eligibility Committee. \n\n\n\nSEE MORE EVENTS:\n(SERACH ALL BY SPORT GOLF)\n\n\n\n\n\n

Therefore swimmers with Down Syndrome should apply for dual eligibility in the Virtus II1 group (based on IQ and Adaptive Scores) in order to be classified for Paralympics swimming and the Virtus II2 group (based on Cytogenetic Report showing Down Syndrome) for Virtus events. \nSpecial note to swimmers with Autism: Because of the wide range of abilities of people with Autism\, some will be eligible to pursue Paralympic opportunities\, while others will only be eligible for

This group also includes athletes with Autism if they also meet the ID criteria below):\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFull Scale IQ of 75 or lower on accepted IQ assessment WAIS\, WISC\, or Stanford Binet\, and\nAdaptive Behavior significant limitations (70 or lower in at least one domain area) on Vineland\, ABAS or AAMR scales\, and\nEvidence there was diagnosis of Intellectual Disability before age 22\n\nABOUT THE Virtus II3 GROUP FOR AUTISM:\nAthletes with a formal diagnosis of Autism who don’t meet the IQ and Adaptive criteria above compete at Athletes Without Limits and Virtus events in our unique II3 Autism group. While not eligible for the Para T20 Class they can apply to the B.A.A Adaptive Runner Program.\n\nHOW TO APPLY:\nThose interested who already have Virtus eligibility (listed our US Track & Field National List) should reach out to Athletes Without Limits using our Contact Us form so we can help you navigate this new opportunity. \nNew US runners with Autism\, Down Syndrome and Intellectual Disability should start by applying to Athletes Without Limits for an eligibility review using our US Athlete Virtus & Para Eligibility Application Page.    \nBE SURE TO ALSO REGISTER WITH THE B.A.A:\nYou’ll also want to watch entry deadlines\, complete the event registration process on the B.A.A website and apply directly to the B.A.A.

Additionally\, the T20 Para Division offers complimentary entry to those who can meet the fastest T20 High Performance Time Standards. While the Adaptive Program for Runners offers slower qualifying times since it’s intention is to offer additional opportunities for participation.\nPRIZES: There prize money for the first three male and female finishers in the T20 Para events — while there is no prize money in the Adaptive Program which\, again\, is intended to provide additional participation opportunities.\nSUPPORT RUNNER: Support Runners are not permitted for athletes with Intellectual Impairment in the more competitive T20 Para Event which follows the same rules as the Paralympics.

SUMMARY:TBA 2026 3rd Arizona Adaptive Open Golf Championships
DESCRIPTION:Note that Athletes Without Limits only confirms Virtus eligibility for athletes with intellectual impairment to get their WR4GD Pass from EDGA — and is not the host of this event. Please review the event website and reach out to the Arizona Golf Association for event questions other than Virtus eligibility as there may be additional qualifying requirements. \nArizona Golf Association (AZ Golf) Launches Adaptive Open: \nRead the 2024 Inaugural Announcement \n\nDate & Location:\nIn 2024 the Arizona Golf Association (AZ Golf) launched it’s inaugural Arizona Adaptive Open.\nThe 2026 event dates are expected to be in December at the Papago Golf Club. \n\nRegistration:\nSee the event hosts website for registration information and deadlines:\nRegister on AZ GOLF Website\nEligibility for New Golfers with Intellectual Impairment:\n \nThis event requires a WR4GD pass though EDGA.\nEDGA requires players with an Intellectual Impairment to first confirm their Virtus International Level Eligibility. US Players can apply for Virtus eligibility through Athletes Without Limits (USA Virtus Member) from our Virtus Eligibility Application Page. \nNote: This event does not specify that it follows Paralympic Classification (Virtus II1 & II2 Players Only) so it is assumed that athletes with Virtus II1\, II2 or II3 WR4GD Passes may enter. Virtus II3 Players should confirm this with the event organizers. \n\n\nTo lean more and apply for eligibility visit our Golf page for “Three Steps to Become Eligible to Compete as a WR4GD World Ranked Player with Intellectual Impairment”\n\n*New players with intellectual impairment should apply to Athletes Without Limits as early as possible (at least 12 weeks prior to registration closing) to confirm International level Virtus eligibility in time to get your WR4GD Pass for an event. This is due to the time it takes for us to hear back confirmation from the Virtus International Eligibility Committee. \n\n\n\nSEE MORE EVENTS:\n(SEARCH UPCOMING EVENTS BY SPORT GOLF)\n\n\n\n\n\n
