contents The Cartan $(2,3,5)$-distribution is a tangent distribution of rank~$2$ on a $5$-dimensional manifold satisfying certain generic conditions. The necessary and sufficient condition for a manifold to admit such a structure is established in this paper. The condition obtained is purely topological. In addition, the classification of such structures, up to homotopy as formal Cartan distributions, is obtained.
