The stars are aligning on the track and this time, it’s history in the making.

Olympic champions Gabby Thomas, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, and a host of global sprinting elites are set to headline the inaugural Grand Slam Track Competition, a groundbreaking event that promises to reshape the landscape of athletics.

 

Set to take place this summer, the Grand Slam Track Competition marks a bold new era in professional track and field. Designed to rival the excitement of tennis and golf’s grand slams, the series will bring together the sport’s biggest names for a high-stakes, fan-focused experience like never before.

 

Leading the charge is none other than Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, the reigning Olympic and world champion in the 400m hurdles, known for shattering records with grace and grit. Alongside her is the electric Gabby Thomas, Olympic medalist and one of the fastest women over 200 meters in history, who’s eager to light up the track once again.

Joining them will be a powerful roster of elite athletes, including sprinters Noah Lyles, Sha’Carri Richardson, and world record hopefuls from across the globe. The event promises head-to-head showdowns, winner-take-all races, and the kind of storytelling and spectacle that track fans have long dreamed of.

 

“This is what the sport has needed—something fresh, fast, and fan-first,” said Thomas. “I’m hyped to compete on this kind of stage.”

 

The Grand Slam format will feature four marquee competitions throughout the year, with each stop offering major prize money and global television exposure. More importantly, it puts athletes in control amplifying their voices, personalities, and rivalries.

 

From jaw-dropping sprint finishes to emotional comebacks, fans can expect Olympic-level intensity mixed with festival-style energy.
