Inaugural Athlos Event Elevates Women's Track with Big Prizes and Star Power

Launched by Alexis Ohanian, the Athlos event in NYC offers unprecedented prize money and celebrity performances to spotlight top female athletes.

Athlos, a women-only track event, was created by Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian to boost the profile of female athletes.
Winners of each race received $60,000 and a custom Tiffany & Co. crown, doubling the prize money of the Diamond League finale.
Top athletes like Faith Kipyegon and Brittany Brown participated, with Brown winning $85,000 across two events.
The event featured a concert by Megan Thee Stallion and aimed to create a high-energy, fan-friendly atmosphere.
Ohanian emphasized that Athlos was designed with athlete feedback to ensure they felt respected and well-compensated.
