Grand Slam Track, the new professional track and field series launched by four-time Olympic gold medallist Michael Johnson, has confirmed the full competition schedule for its second meet, the Miami Slam, to be held May 2–4 at the Ansin Sports Complex in Miramar, Florida.
Gabby Thomas, McLaughlin-Levrone Among Headliners for Miami Slam
The meet follows the success of the Kingston Slam, which opened the series and drew top names, strong fan turnout, and global viewership across 189 countries. A number of athletes who triumphed in Kingston will look to go back-to-back in Miami, including Gabby Thomas, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, Kenny Bednarek, Melissa Jefferson-Wooden, Alison Dos Santos, Diribe Welteji, and Grant Fisher.
The stakes remain high: each Race Group winner will collect $100,000, with the eighth-place finisher earning $10,000. A total of $12.6 million in prize money will be distributed across the series annually, in addition to base pay for signed Racers and appearance fees for Challengers.
