As part of the partnership, OMORPHO will host a series of special events leading up to and during The Prefontaine Classic and U.S. Olympic Team Trials - Track & Field to educate consumers about its patented MicroLoad performance gear. These events will provide opportunities for athletes, coaches, media, and fans to experience firsthand the performance benefits of OMORPHO's micro-weighted products. Attendees will have the chance to try on products, such as the award-winning G-Vest, and even participate in races to demonstrate how OMORPHO’s wearable resistance can enhance athletic performance. Additionally, OMORPHO ambassador and Olympic legend Michael Johnson will discuss his personal experience and benefits of training with MicroLoad.

OMORPHO features a complete lineup of micro-weighted performance wear and the most advanced weighted vest on the market. Olympic athletes, including Vashti Cunningham (high jumper) and Annie Kunz (heptathlete) have been training in OMORPHO to provide them with a competitive edge over the competition. The patented MicroLoad design evenly distributes weight across the body providing the right amount of resistance and unparalleled flexibility, producing a fit that feels like a second skin, barely noticeable to an athlete when in motion.
The Prefontaine Classic is one of track & field’s most prestigious events and will take place Saturday, May 25. The U.S. Olympic Team Trials - Track & Field will follow with an eight-day event June 21-30 after which the USA Olympic Track & Field team will be announced.
