The 2024 Athletics Kenya Olympic Trials was an athletics meeting held by Athletics Kenya to select the Kenyan team in athletics at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France. The meeting was held June 14–15, 2024 in Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi, Kenya. Unlike other countries' trials, the 2024 Kenyan trials did not also serve as that year's national championships – a separate Kenyan Athletics Championships was held earlier in May 2024. The top two qualified athletes per event were to be guaranteed Olympic team spots, and if there were multiple options for a third qualified athlete in any event, they were chosen via committee.[1]
The first day was highlighted by Faith Kipyegon making her season debut to win the 5000 metres, reigning World Athletics Championships winner Mary Moraa losing the 800 m to Lilian Odira, and Reynold Cheruiyot winning the men's 1500 metres.[2]
