Below is the full Para Athletics track schedule. There are 89 gold medals available on the track and road at the Paris 2024 Paralympics, which is just over half of the 164 medals available in the track and field events at the Games.

Alongside each event is the athlete classification. This groups together athletes with comparable impairments to ensure their races are fair. You can see an explanation of the Para Athletic categories at the bottom of this page (jump to it via this link).

WHAT DO THE PARA ATHLETIC CLASSIFICATIONS MEAN?

We’ve covered the full details of the Paralympic Classifications here. For Para Athletics, the Classification system is a letter and two numbers. 

  • For track athletes, the letter is T (field events begin with F)
  • The first number identifies the category of impairment (e.g. 1 is visual impairment, 5 is for wheelchair athletes)
  • The second number identifies the severity, with 1 being the greatest impairments and 8 being the mildest. 

The Para Athletic categories are as follows:

  • 11-13. Athletes with visual impairment. 11 is the most severe, down to 13 which has more field of vision. Athletes may be assisted by guides
  • 20. Athletes with a learning disability
  • 33-34. Wheelchair athletes with cerebral palsy (or other similar neurological conditions and coordination impairments)
  • 35-38. Athletes with cerebral palsy (or other similar neurological conditions and coordination impairments) who are able to run
  • 40-41. Athletes of short stature (athletes in 40 are shorter than 41)
  • 42-44. Athletes with lower limb impairments, competing without a prosthesis
  • 45-47. Athletes with upper limb impairments
  • 51-58. Wheelchair athletes with different levels of spinal injuries and amputations (in the track categories the classification is T51-54)
  • 61-64. Athletes with lower limb impairments who compete with a prosthesis
