2024.10.25

Discover the official list of 30 athletes who have been registered with the Grand Slam Track League once more participants have been confirmed.

With the formal signing of 30 of their planned 48 GST Racers and the absence of US sprint champions Sha’Carri Richardson and Noah Lyles from the roster, the Grand Slam Track (GST) is looking good for a successful league in the 2025 season.

Starting in April 2025, the Grand Slam Track, led by four-time Olympic gold medalist and eight-time world champion Michael Johnson, would feature four competitions, or “Slams,” with $12.6 million in prize money up for grabs.

A total of 96 athletes are anticipated to compete, 48 of whom will be Grand Slam Track (GST) Racers and 48 of whom will be GST Challengers.

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, the first confirmed signing and Olympic star from Paris, is at the top of the list of racers. All GST Racers will receive a base salary each year for competing in the events, with the possibility of earning more money.

Olympic champions Quincy Hall (Men’s 400m), Masai Russell (Women’s 100mH), Cole Hocker (Men’s 1500m), and Jamaican hurdlers Ackera Nugent and Rushell Clayton have all joined the league.

Here is the official list of the 30 athletes who are currently signed with the league, following the confirmation of additional participants.
