What counts: any standard World Athletics-affiliated marathon, or race longer than 42.2km, that is officially measured and officially timed (gun-to-mat or mat-to-mat). If your race isn't listed on the TTOM entry system, email the race office to have it added, then submit it on your profile.
Your qualifying time also decides your start batch.
