World Records
World Records can only be set at WPA approved competitions in which random in-competition anti-doping testing is set up in advance. There is no on call testing allowed for World Record validations. If you are close to breaking a World Record in a Paralympic Games event for your classification please reach out to us at ParaInfo@usatf.org at least 4 weeks in advance of your approved competition to discuss options. World Records can always be set at WPA Grand Prix, USATF National Championships and U.S. Paralympics Trials.

If a World Para Athletics (WPA) record is set, all forms and supplemental documentation must be submitted to Tanner at Tanner.Warmoth@usatf.org within 24 hours of the record.
