“The energy around this league is incredible,” shared Paris Olympics silver medalist in a recent vlog posted on his YouTube channel.
“I think I was the second person to sign with the league, and I think we're going to find out all this stuff together. I'm excited to see what it's going to look like. I know they have the four meets, and I know we're locked in on dates. I'm not too sure how much I can say about it, but I'm sure we'll find out more soon," he added.
The 2025 Grand Slam Track series is poised to become a highlight of the athletics calendar, with four major events set to captivate fans across the US and Jamaica.
The series kicks off in April in Kingston, Jamaica, followed by a highly anticipated meet in Miami, Florida, in May. Later that month, Philadelphia will host the third event before the series culminates in Los Angeles in June.
One of the most anticipated storylines is Kerr’s potential rematch with American Olympian Cole Hocker, who narrowly edged him out for gold at the Paris Olympics.
The Grand Slam Track series offers Kerr a chance at redemption and an opportunity to solidify his place among the elite middle-distance runners in the world.
