The inaugural event will be held in Kingston, Jamaica, in April 2025, aiming to boost global interest in track and field.

Michael Johnson's Grand Slam Track League seeks to elevate track and field with a global competition format.
The league will feature four annual events, starting in Kingston, Jamaica, followed by South Florida, Los Angeles, and another city yet to be announced.
Johnson's decision to begin the league in Jamaica has reignited the historic USA-Jamaica track rivalry.
The league will contract 48 'GST Racers' and invite 48 'GST Challengers' to compete for a share of $12.6 million in prize money.
Key athletes, including Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and Fred Kerley, have already signed on, promising marquee head-to-head matchups.
