About Grand Slam Track Jamaica
Grand Slam Track Jamaica sees 48 Racers —24 men and 24 women — compete against 48 Challengers in two races per event group: short sprints (100m/200m), short hurdles (100H or 110H/100m), long sprints (200m/400m), long hurdles (400H/400m), short distance (800m/1500m), or long distance (3000m/5000m). Final placement scores for each competitor will be decided by combining their finishing order between two races.
The winner of each Slam event group will lock up a $100,000 prize, and 8th place competitors will win $10,000. This style of track emphasizes head-to-head competition, and each Slam will wipe the slate clean and allow athletes to start all over again to win a prize.
