Josh Kerr Signs Long-Term Deal with Brooks Ahead of 2025 Track Season

British middle-distance star Josh Kerr has solidified his place as a key figure in the world of athletics by announcing a long-term partnership with the $1.2 billion sportswear brand, Brooks. The 2023 World Champion in the 1500m continues to demonstrate his commitment to excellence as he gears up for the 2025 track season.

Kerr’s relationship with Brooks dates back to 2018, when the then-NCAA champion decided to forgo his remaining collegiate eligibility at the University of New Mexico to pursue a professional running career. The decision proved to be pivotal, as Kerr’s career flourished under the Brooks Beasts Track Club, where he became a standout figure on the global stage.

Since turning professional, Kerr has achieved numerous accolades, including his iconic bronze medal performance in the 1500m at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and his dominant gold medal run at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest. Most recently, Kerr delivered a sensational performance at the Paris 2024 Olympics, where he claimed the gold medal in the 1500m, solidifying his reputation as one of the all-time greats in middle-distance running.

These achievements have cemented his status as one of the finest middle-distance runners of his generation. His journey from NCAA champion to global icon is a testament to his talent, determination, and the strong support system provided by Brooks.

Kerr’s partnership with Brooks goes beyond performance gear; it reflects a shared vision of inspiring the next generation of athletes. As he continues to compete at the highest level, his role as a brand ambassador for Brooks highlights the company’s dedication to supporting world-class talent and pushing the boundaries of innovation in running.

"I’m excited to announce my commitment to a long-term partnership with this incredible brand. Working alongside such a talented team of coaches and athletes has not only helped me become the athlete I’ve always aspired to be but also allowed us to create the best gear to elevate performance. I’m pumped for the journey ahead and the continued success we’ll achieve together," he wrote.

With the 2025 track season on the horizon, Kerr’s renewed partnership positions him to build on his remarkable career and take on new challenges. Fans and competitors alike will eagerly watch as the Scottish athlete, now one of the most recognizable faces in middle-distance running, seeks to leave an even greater mark on the sport.
