Athlos is a professional, female-only track and field meeting series that was first held at Icahn Stadium in New York City on September 26, 2024.[1][2] In 2026, the event became a two-event series with the addition of the Athlos: London meet, to be held at the StoneX Stadium in Barnet, London.[3]
History, premise
[edit]The first meeting was originally announced in April 2024 and was initially referred to as the "776 Invitational".[2] It was inspired by the success of the Angel City FC club and a desire to showcase women's track and field more often than once every four years for the Summer Olympics.[4]
Named after the Greek word for athletics, the first meeting was intended to highlight women's track and field and make the sport a spectator-friendly experience by simplifying the number of events down to six. It included the 100 m, 100 m hurdles, 200 m, 400 m, 800 m, and 1500 m. It featured a total of 36 athletes competing in these six events, including Gabby Thomas, Alexis Holmes, and Faith Kipyegon.[1] After the races ended, Megan Thee Stallion performed, concluding her Hot Girl Summer Tour.[5]
The first edition was described as entertaining with good feedback from athletes, but LetsRun.com noted that the meeting had an uncertain future due to fan response.[6]
The second edition of Athlos was held on October 10, 2025 and included the long jump, which Tara Davis-Woodhall headlined.[7]
The third edition introduced a second meet, Athlos: London to be held in September, with the event now becoming an aggregate series for prize purposes.[3]
Prize money
[edit]The meeting also provided the following prize money for competitors based on what place they finish in their event.[2]

| 1 | $60,000.00 |
| 2 | $25,000.00 |
