The first ever Athlos NYC 2024 took place on Thursday, September 26, at Icahn Stadium in New York City. The all-women track event gathered attention for its exciting races, lavish prize money, and Tiffany crowns instead of medals. The Megan Thee Stallion concert was the cherry on the icing.
The lucrative event featured 36 of the top track stars in the world. Among the participants were three-time Paris Olympic gold medalist Gabby Thomas, fellow Olympians Masai Russell, Faith Kipyegon, Alexis Holmes, Torrie Lewis.
Athlos NYC 2024 is the first female-only premier track event and was funded by Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, Reddit co-founder and husband to Serena Williams with an aim to expand media coverage and broadcast opportunities to women athletes outside of the Olympic cycle.
