The race that began in Kingston could not reach the finishing line in Los Angeles. Grand Slam Track made a grand debut in the Jamaican city, but the grand conclusion that the city of angels was to witness is not going to happen. The Los Angeles Grand Slam Track event, scheduled for June 28–29 at UCLA’s Drake Stadium, was officially canceled on June 12, 2025. This concludes the 2025 season of the league. What does Michael Johnson have to say?
League director and legendary sprinter, Michael Johnson, appeared in a video posted by the league’s X handle. He shared, “Hey everyone, wanted to personally share with you that today we are announcing the conclusion of our inaugural Grand Slam track season. That means we won’t see you in LA, unfortunately, and this was not a decision that we came to lightly, but it is the right decision for the long-term sustainability of the league.” On the league’s official website, Johnson cited economic reasons for the cancellation.
He also mentioned, “We feel that we’ve proven everything that we needed to this year in the first three slams, and so we will go ahead now and conclude our season and focus on the 2026 season.”
