The 2024 United States Olympic trials for track and field were held at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon. Organized by USA Track and Field, the ten-day competition lasted from June 21 to 30 and served as the national championships in track and field for the United States. 44 events were held, 22 for men and 22 for women.
The marathon trials were held on February 3, 2024, in Orlando, Florida. During the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, track and field events will be held between Thursday, August 1 and Sunday, August 11 with competition beginning each day at 4 am. ET.
The results of the event determined qualification for the American Olympic team at the 2024 Summer Olympics, to be held in Paris. Provided they had achieved the Olympic standard or are in the World Athletics ranking quota, the top three athletes in each event gained a place on the Olympic team.
In the event that a leading athlete did not hold the standard, or an athlete withdrew, the next highest finishing athlete with the standard was selected instead. USA Track and Field announced their Olympic roster based on United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee and Team USA guidelines.
