In 2023, McKirdy Trained created an Olympic Trials focused race to serve athletes from all over the world to earn their national standards. The race produced more global standards in our event than any other race in the USA in 2023 - including World Majors! Even 44 USATF Olympic trials times!

Now they are expanding their reach and offering that same service to a larger audience.
