ATHLOS in London on Rekortan
Thrilling female-only track event at StoneX Stadium.
ATHLOS (named after the Greek word for athletics) is a professional, female-only track series that was first in New York City in 2024.
It brings together the fastest women in the world to compete for the largest prize ever offered at a women’s-only track event. ATHLOS combines track competition with music, fashion and celebrity to create a thrilling and unique event.
On 18 September, ATHLOS debuts in London at StoneX Stadium. The sold-out event features 42 elite female athletes competing in the 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, mile, 100m hurdles and long jump.
The record prize money totals US$1,057,000, with each winner receiving US$65,000 plus a bespoke Tiffany & Co. crown.
