Once an athlete has been approved by Aztlan Athletics to participate in the elite field for an event, the athlete will need to complete the following at least two weeks before the event they were cleared for:

​

• Provide a bio with personal best times in the 5K, 10K, or Half Marathon

• Follow Aztlan Athletics on Facebook and Instagram

• Upload at least two social media posts one week apart on Facebook and/or Instagram on your personal account. Make sure to send verification of your posts (e.g., screenshot) to Aztlan Athletics. Your post must include the following:

  • "I am racing at (the name of the event). Join me so we can compete for the prize money…"

• Provide completed W-9 (download from the government website)

• After your race:

  • Stay for the awards ceremony

  • Take promotional photos

 

We encourage you to carefully review the guidelines for each Aztlan Athletics-operated event.

For each event, prize money will only be awarded to athletes cleared in writing through the event director. We will respond to elite field qualification requests made four weeks prior to each event to ensure you have enough time to complete the requirements.

 

Aztlan Athletics holds the right to exclude athletes based on conduct that may defame the organization and the beneficiaries and/or due to past behavior that may create a hostile environment and/or promote violence through verbal threats or disparaging remarks on social media.
