The 2013 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships was held at Drake Stadium in Des Moines, Iowa.

Provided they had achieved (or will achieve before the cutoff date) the World Championships "A" or "B" standard, the top four athletes can gain a place on the World Championships team in an individual event (although only three can compete).

[4] Standards set at the 2012 Summer Olympics are only acceptable for the 10,000 metres, racewalk and combined events.

However, athletes can still pursue standards following this meet and still make the team provided they attain it before the July 20 cutoff date.
