US ’28 Track Trials Headed Back to Eugene (Not LA) over Compressed 6-Day Schedule
USA Track & Field said the 2028 meet will use a six-day format, with combined events and the 10,000 meters held earlier for recovery.
- The Olympic track and field trials will return to Eugene, Oregon, in 2028, leaving Los Angeles on the sideline weeks before it hosts the Summer Games.
- USA Track and Field CEO Max Siegel defended the selection, noting Eugene's "record of success in selecting America's best track and field athletes speaks for itself."
- The six-day schedule excludes the decathlon, heptathlon, and 10,000 meters, which will be held earlier in the spring at undetermined locations to allow for additional recovery.
- Organizers bypassed Los Angeles venues like the Coliseum and Drake Stadium, citing concerns about holding two major events within a short period.
- The Olympics begin July 14, 2028, with the track meet starting the next day; this marks the first time track will cover the opening days of the Games since 1968.
