Noah Lyles is set to make his long awaited comeback in February during a memorial race in Boston.
Olympic champion American Noah Lyles will hope to get his 2025 season up and running when he takes on former champion Lamont Marcel Jacobs.
The February 2 Boston event will be Lyles' first race post-Olympic. The six-time world champion will compete against the Italian in the 60m race, a stark contrast to their outdoor French summer competition.
According to Essence, the race will be in honour of fallen hero Ralph Mann, who passed away on January 2 this year. The former American hurdler had a big role in improving Lyles’ sprinting techniques as a trainer and New Balance wants to immortalize his impact.

Also, he let his fans remember Mann not just as an Olympian or former record holder. Rather, to him, Ralph was someone who helped him to become a great 60m runner and 100m Olympic Champion.

Jacobs snuck into the final as one of the ‘fastest losers’ during the semi-finals but could not recreate the magic from four years ago when he shocked the world in Tokyo 2020.
