BC Athletics Renews Partnership for 2019 National Para Challenge
BC Athletics has renewed its partnership with the National Para Challenge (NPC) series as a funding and promotional partner to support and encourage current and future Paralympians.
The NPC provides the opportunity for athletes with a disability across Canada to compete in a series of track and field meets for prize money. The NPC will enable athletes to be in direct competition against each other by basing their results on a percentile of the word leading results in their respective classes for each event. If a class does not have a 2018 world leading result, the world record will be used in a world leading result’s place. A listing of all world leading results will be posted on the NPC website (www.parachallenge.ca). Prize money will be awarded to the top male and female for each event.
