THE KEY SPORTS
HISTORY
Established in 1978 by Ray Olfky, Key Sports is an industry leader for running event timing in the Miami Valley. Ray determined a need to time and score running events in Dayton, OH. From this need grew Key Sports and Business Promotions. Key Sports started timing a few running events and, through word of mouth, has grown to a nationally recognized timing company. Ray helped plan so many local community events over the years. He also help create the Dayton Distance Running Hall of Fame and was part of the 1986 inaugural class.
In 2013 Anthony Trimble became the new owner of Key Sports. Born and raised in the Miami Valley, Anthony has always enjoyed an active lifestyle. He is now able to share his passion for running while helping local organizations and charities with their events and fundraising goals.

MEET THE TEAM
Anthony Trimble - Owner
I've been an athlete my whole life and played soccer, basketball, track & field, and tennis in school. After high school, and graduating from Sinclair Community College and the University of Dayton, I started distance running with 5Ks, 10Ks, half marathons, and full marathons. My first marathon was the Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon in 2001. After marathon running I starting competing in triathlons. I've completed multiple sprint, olympic, half ironman distance triathlons and one full ironman distance triathlon. I'm also a former USA Triathlon Level 1 Certified Coach and Trustee/Race Director for the Ohio River Road Runner Club. I'm a Nationally Recognized Gold Circle Jaguar Certified Timer and Advisory Board Member for Innovative Timing Systems.
Giving back to the community and volunteering my time is important. I am proud to be a founding member of the Dayton Chapter of Team Red, White, and Blue (Team RWB).
As a participant, my favorite running event has been the Key West Half Marathon. How can you go wrong with sun, sand, and the ocean breeze for 13.1 miles!
Aneesa Bhimani-Trimble - Owner
I was introduced to the Dayton running community in 2001, when I ran the Turkey Trot in Miamisburg. I enjoy the energy and excitement of running events and getting to know participants, so you'll often find me at the finish line cheering people on and talking when I should be working. I'm a former Trustee/Race Director for the Ohio River Road Runner Club. I'm also a Nationally Recognized Gold Circle Jaguar Certified Timer and Advisory Board Member for Innovative Timing Systems.
When I'm not working events or chasing after our son, I enjoy volunteering my time with several community organizations. I'm also proud to be a founding member of the Dayton Chapter of Team RWB and a member of the Dayton She Runs This Town (SRTT).
Locally, I've participated in numerous community 5Ks and completed the Outdoor X 12 Hour Endurance Run. My favorite running event is also the Key West Half Marathon. There's something special about running along the ocean as the sun is rising.
Nick Landis - Team Member
Nick has worked for Key Sports since 2016 and loves all things associated with racing. He can be found on race day setting up tents and finish lines or even leading the race on his bike. Nick himself has competed in running races as well as several triathlons. His true passion is cycling and more often than not can be found on two wheels. Nick's favorite race was the Camp Arifjan Sprint Triathlon, where he had the fastest time in his Unit and recalls how horrible it was to ride a cheap mountain bike through the desert for 20K. Nick's most accomplished event was earning a Silver German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge, with only 24 hours notice.
VOLUNTEERS, FAMILY, & FRIENDS
We are so grateful and appreciative for all of our family and friends who have helped Key Sports with race prep, setup, breakdown, water stops, packet pickups, and so many other little things that make our events possible. Your support helps race directors host smoothly running events for the local organizations and charities with whom we partner. THANK YOU!
