McKirdy Micro: Breaking 4

Donation Goal: $10,000

🏁 Support the Dream. Build the Breakthrough.

Not every runner has access to the right course, the right pacing, or the right environment to chase their potential. The McKirdy Trained Micro Race Series exists to change that.

Our race series was created for athletes who are often overlooked—those on the cusp of qualifying for the Olympic Trials or the World Championships but can’t secure an elite entry into Boston, Chicago, or Tokyo. For everyday runners chasing their first sub-4 or sub-3 finish but who fall short—not for lack of effort, but because the logistics didn’t line up: crowds, inconsistent pacing, missed bottles.

We believe every athlete deserves a fair shot at their breakthrough.

That’s why we design races that remove obstacles and elevate performance. From personal bottles and expert pacers to certified tangent-marked courses and dialed-in support, we offer a professional race-day experience to runners who would otherwise never get it.
