2024 Olympic Marathon Trials – Minnesota in Photos
The US Olympic Trials, like every marathon, has its own unique story with themes of accomplishment, heartbreak, redemption, breakthroughs, and underdogs prevailing. In an effort to capture some of these stories, we commissioned Katia Gaisford to be the the official Run Minnesota press photographer on the ground in Orlando.
Congratulations to all the athletes who participated in the trials on their accomplishments and to Dakotah Lindwurm on making the 2024 Olympic team!
We believed!

2024 Olympic Team Trials – Marathon
Minnesotans will have 23 athletes with local ties to cheer for at the Olympic Trials for the Marathon, and every one of them has taken a unique path to arrive at the starting line near Lake Eola Park in downtown Orlando at 10 a.m. (EST) Feb. 3. Some were Minnesota state high school cross country champions, some ran at the University of Minnesota, some were middling DIII competitors, some are Olympians already—but all trained intensely to hit the new standards to qualify for race.
Mark Nenow
Even had the internet existed in the 1980s, Mark Nenow would have had a low profile. He was quiet, and often trained alone using methods that worked for him, regardless of the wisdom of the day. Nenow is not even well known in his home state of Minnesota, though he broke 28 minutes for 10,000 meters ten times between 1982 and 1989, held the American record for 10,000 meters of 27:20 for 15 years, and the American 10K road record of 27:22 for ten years. He was the top ranked U.S. 10K runner three times in the late 1980s. All of this, in shoes that barely provided coverage much less any sort of energy return, using training methods that were unique, to say the least.
