More than 600 athletes from 57 schools across the MIAA competed in the daylong event, which brings together students with and without intellectual disabilities to train and compete on the same team while representing their school.

Athletes were placed in competitive tiers based on performance in the following events:

Each participating school also was allowed to enter one 4x100 and one 4x400 relay team comprised of two athletes and two partners.
