2024 United States Olympic trials (marathon)

The race was hosted by the city of Orlando, in partnership with Orange County, Track Shack Events, the Greater Orlando Sports Commission, USA Track & Field, and the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee.

On the men's side pre-race favorites to make the team included two-time defending champion Rupp, Mantz, Young, Korir, Panning, Fauble, and Chelanga.

Paul Chelimo, a two-time olympic medalist in the 5000m would be making his marathon debut and hoping to get on the team.

Many considered Conner Mantz to be the favorite to win the trials, given his consistency in the distance over the last few years and being the top American in a deep Chicago marathon race in 2023.

It was a warm and sunny day in Orlando, with a temperature of 63 degrees at the start and 70 at the finish.
