For its first meets in 2025, Grand Slam Track will have four sites announced. Drake Stadium on the school of UCLA, announced Friday, shells out the group of facilities that will network its” knocks”, joining Jamaica’s National Stadium in Kingston, Ansin Sports Complex in residential Miami and Franklin Field on UPenn’s school in Philadelphia.
Starting on Tuesday, GST will post a site per day on social media. The contests did run from early April through late June. Los Angeles, house of GST’s office, was recently announced as a sponsor town, but a place was not determined at the time.
GST’s original plan was to keep smashes in two U. S. towns and two worldwide destinations. But, the loop, founded by Michael Johnson and Winners Alliance, chose to focus on North America in the first year. In a telephone interview with GST President Steve Gera,” Part of the issue with the activity is people have especially underinvested in the professional side of the product.” We simply have a strong faith in the United States.

Each of the other places holds value, beginning with Kingston. Jamaica’s efforts to monitor include legends like Usain Bolt and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. In honor of GST, the country that “out-punched its weight in this game for so much, but it’s never had a large global occasion,” Gera said. We really wanted to go there first, which is actually a sign of respect for all Jamaica and Jamaicans have done for the sport, and we are confident that they will do it well.”
The Ansin Sports Complex in Miramar, Fla., is one of just four Category 2 IAAF-certified tracks in the U. S., and according to Gera, the 5, 000-seat venue’s close size may make for a special television production. We were looking for a spouse who was “absolutely interested” in learning what we’re going to do in terms of live presentation and outfield. And actually, they probably leaned in as much or more than anyone else”.
Gera said Philadelphia’s activities history, including the Penn Relays, which has taken place at the University of Pennsylvania since 1895, made the city an early goal. It was one of my earliest choices because it has quite a vibrant community that respects and embraces the activity. And the university and the local leadership definitely welcomed us there.
Forty-eight athletes, including leading record stars American sprinter Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and American center distance runnerJosh Kerr, may be entirely signed to GST and designated as GST Racers. They will be contracted to compete in all four events and receive a base income. Another 48, GST Challengers, may be selected by the racing council to engage in specific knocks. Each athlete will engage half over the weekend, and their results will be reflected in the World Athletics standings and rankings.
In June, GST announced it received more than$ 30 million in commitments from investors and sponsors. Prize money for each slam will be split, ranging from$ 100, 000 for first place to$ 10, 000 for eighth place.

Gera said facts about further sponsorships are upcoming. Grand Slam Track’s internet rights are still being determined.
