This writer met Josh Kerr in the summer of 2017. Josh was hoping to be part of the British team in 2017. I met Josh and his parents and told him that while I was an American, I wasn’t a follower. He smiled. I also told him that they would be making British teams in the future and that the selectors had caused a lot of British stars quite a bit of pain in their formative years.
Josh now has two Olympic medals: bronze at Tokyo 2020 (2021) and silver at Paris 2024. He won the World Outdoor 2023 1,500 meters in a brilliant battle against Jakob Ingebrigtsen in Budapest. In 2024, in front of his Scottish fans, Josh became the world gold medalist in the 3000 meters in Glasgow, nearly blowing the roof off his countrymen.
Josh Kerr is a global phenomenon. Kids love his story from around the world.Coaches have admired his relationship with Danny Macke and how they have built Josh’s confidence, racing prowess and value for the Brooks brand since 2018.
Kerr will run as long as he wants and be a Brooks ambassador, encouraging the next generation, helping coaches understand world-class racing and working closely with Brooks to create great products and promote the Brooks brand.
It’s a win-win for Brooks and Brooks Bates.
Best of luck to Josh Kerr, Danny McKee and Brooks Bates.
Congratulations to Gareth Heath and Dan Sheridan for putting this package together.
