St. Louis to host 2028 U.S. Olympic marathon trials

Article excerpt

St. Louis will host the 2028 U.S. Olympic marathon trials, where American runners will compete to earn spots on Team USA for the Los Angeles Olympics. The races, separate men's and women's competitions, serve as the official selection mechanism for the marathon team, a role the city has held before. The trials typically draw the nation's top distance runners in a high-stakes competition that determines which athletes will represent the country on the Olympic stage. Officials have not yet announced the specific date, though the trials usually take place in the months leading up to the Games.
