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]
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. [3]
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. [4]
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. [5]
The second edition of Athlos was held on October 10, 2025 and included the long jump, which Tara Davis-Woodhall headlined. [6]
The meeting also provided the following prize money for competitors based on what place they finish in their event. [2]
