With just a day to go, it’s all systems go for the Racers Grand Prix 2025, set to unfold at the National Stadium this Saturday, June 7. The stage is set for a night of world-class sprinting, spirited performances, and proud Jamaican excellence.

In preparation for this international-caliber event, organizers have confirmed two key operational enhancements that reflect the Racers Grand Prix’s commitment to safety, innovation, and sustainability.

General Accident Insurance Company Jamaica (GenAc), a proud partner and one of Jamaica’s leading insurers, has provided comprehensive liability coverage for the event. This critical coverage ensures the protection of all stakeholders, including athletes, staff, officials, and patrons throughout the staging of the meet.

“At GENAC, we are passionate about supporting sporting excellence and community engagement,” said Lesley Miller, Chief Information Officer of General Accident Insurance Jamaica.

“Our sponsorship of the Racers Grand Prix is not just about protection - it’s about being present where the energy is, where people are moving forward, and where the future is being shaped.

In a forward-thinking move, Racers Grand Prix has enlisted electric buses to handle the safe and sustainable transport of athletes throughout the weekend. The initiative, powered in collaboration with a local green mobility partner, reflects the event's commitment to environmentally responsible operations.

“This year, we wanted to go further not just in terms of performance on the track, but also in how we show leadership off it,” said Devon Blake, CEO of Racers Grand Prix. “Using electric buses is a step in the right direction as we strive to deliver a world-class and future-facing event.”

Adding to the excitement within the stadium sponsors KFC, Stewarts Automotive Group, Double Seven will fete patrons to prizes and surprises before and during the meet.

With the athlete line-up confirmed, training underway, and infrastructure in place, the Racers Grand Prix promises an unforgettable showcase of speed, culture, and innovation. Fans are encouraged to arrive early and enjoy the full experience, including activations, entertainment, and a stacked race schedule featuring local and international stars.

The Racers Grand Prix 2025 starts at 7:00 PM sharp on Saturday, June 7.
