Fall 2026 - World Championship Application Fee

The 2026 IFSS Pan American Championships and ICF World Championship are set to ignite excitement among athletes this year, with applications opening on June 8th. The application process is designed to ensure serious participation; hence an $100 non-refundable fee will be required for all applicants seeking a spot in the IFSS or ICF World Championships.
Once your application is complete and submitted by June 30th, it will undergo thorough evaluation before being forwarded to the CAHDS Selections Committee. Successful candidates will receive notification no later than July 20th, providing clear guidance on their next steps towards securing a place in these prestigious events.
For those aiming to participate in the IFSS Pan American Championships specifically, make sure to purchase your DID (Digital Identity) during Round 1 of purchases from June 1st to June 15th. This is crucial as subsequent rounds will not open until August 1st, too late for this year's championship.
Additionally, if you reside in a province with an established Regional Organization (RO), ensure you purchase your membership directly through that RO or opt for the CAHDS independent membership plan to fully comply with all necessary requirements. This step is essential for your eligibility and participation in these high-profile competitions.
The atmosphere of these championships promises to be electrifying, offering runners a unique blend of challenging terrain and scenic beauty while providing an unparalleled opportunity to showcase skills on a global stage. Mark your calendars now as this year's application period marks the start of what could be one of the most memorable races of 2026.
