The Slam will take place at Ansin Sports Complex in Miramar, Florida, from May 2–4.
The group of Challengers announced today is headlined by international superstars such as Isabella Whittaker, Alaysha Johnson, Freweyni Hailu, Peter Bol, Trey Cunningham, and Kendall Ellis. Signed Racers Devon Allen, Clément Ducos, Jasmine Jones, and Luis Grijalva, plus previously announced Challenger Claudia Hollingsworth, will miss the Miami Slam due to injuries.
An additional Challenger has been added to each of their Race Groups as a result. The competitors collectively represent a total of 24 different countries, exemplifying Grand Slam Track™’s reach as a global league.
“We’re delighted to announce the full field of competitors for the Miami Slam,” said Michael Johnson, the league’s founder and Commissioner. “Coming off the back of the Kingston Slam, our Sr. Director of Racing Kyle Merber has been hard at work continuing to sign the fastest humans on the planet as Challengers. They’re all excited to compete in Grand Slam Track™, knowing how big the honor of being a Slam Champion is. These competitors will put on a festival of speed that I know will entertain fans around the world, just like we did in Kingston. We’re excited to kick off our first Slam on U.S. soil, and I look forward to seeing all of our fans down there in South Florida.”
