Philadelphia, Pennsylvania has been announced as the host city for the third Grand Slam Track™ event this season.

Four-time US Olympic Champion and Grand Slam Track founder and commissioner, Michael Johnson, made the announcement on Thursday that Philadelphia will be the fourth and final host city for its 2025 season, joining Kingston, Jamaica, Miami and Los Angeles.

The final calendar for the 2025 Grand Slam Track™ season, including the location and date for the Los Angeles Slam, will be released tomorrow.

“Philly has a reputation for bringing intensity to every event, and that’s exactly what we’re looking for with Grand Slam Track™,” said Johnson.

“There’s a unique energy in this city, and we’re excited to see how the athletes respond to that. Philadelphia’s sports culture is something else, and it’s going to elevate the competition.”

Philadelphia’s strong sports identity and devoted fan base make it an ideal location for Grand Slam Track™.

The Philadelphia Slam will be held at Franklin Field, at the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia on May 30th, 31st, and June 1st, where the world’s fastest racers will compete.

Franklin Field is also famous for being the venue for the annual Penn Relays.
