*To qualify for the 5000m, the racer needs to have a time of 5:10 or less in the 3000m. If they do not have a qualifying time yet or do not meet that standard, the highest distance they are eligible for is the 3000m. Racers who do meet the time standard must choose between the 3000m and 5000m race. Times must be official, published, and skated between July 1st 2019 and up to the first day of racing to be considered valid for 5000m qualification.
Time standards are not required for the following distances: 500m, 1000m, 1500m, and 3000m.
These changes are due to time limitations and to ensure the best race experience possible for all.
