Description
Grand Slam Track is a professional track and field league, first announced in 2024 by American former Olympic champion sprinter Michael Johnson. The first season ran from April to June 2025. After being initially announced in February 2024, the name of the league and other details were announced at a June 2024 press conference in Los Angeles hosted by John Anderson.
Development
Former sprinter Michael Johnson, who had had the idea for Grand Slam Track since the 1990s, announced in February 2024 his intention to launch a track and field league in 2025. It was announced that the league would include a series of events during the track season between April and September, though events ended up only running through June. Johnson, along with billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman, were reported to be investing millions of their own money in the league.
The announcement of the League in February 2024 came with the stated aims to increase and boost the sport of track and field in public consciousness and to promote the sport outside the four-yearly cycle of Olympic Games. One of the aims is for the Track and Field League to resemble other sports leagues, with global athletes. As opposed to once every four years like the Olympic Games, the Grand Slam Track league will occur four times every year.
In May 2024, former middle-distance runner Kyle Merber confirmed he was employed as Senior Director of Racing. Olympic champion and former sprinter Morolake Akinosun was announced as the Head of Athlete Relations in September 2024.
