Kenya's Faith Kipyegon is set to be among the headline performers at the latest edition of the Athlos Athletics Meet in New York City this weekend.

Athlos is shaping up to be more than just the grand finale of the 2025 track and field season. It’s set to be an experience, a full-on celebration of the sport and the athletes who define it. Yes, there will be track. Yes, there will be field. But what sets Athlos apart is how it brings it all together.

Every track meet has field events, but none of them take place in Times Square.

In one of the world’s most iconic and energetic locations, surrounded by lights, tourists, and endless curiosity, Athlos is turning the long jump into a spectacle worthy of New York City. Picture the energy of a “showtime” moment, but with some of the best athletes in the world launching themselves down the runway and into the sand.

Leading the field is Olympic and World Champion (and Athlos stakeholder) Tara Davis-Woodhall, joined by an elite lineup: Jasmine Moore, Quanesha Burks, Monae’ Nichols, Claire Bryant, and Jazmin Sawyers. Together, they’ll bring world-class athleticism and style to the heart of the city.

Athlos isn’t just another meet- it’s an all-women’s meet, and soon, an all-women’s league. With some of the biggest names in track and field headlining their events, this is a powerful display of womanhood, strength, and excellence in sport.

The track events feature stars like Masai Russell, Brittany Brown, Anavia Battle, Amy Hunt, Marileidy Paulino, Salwa Eid Naser, Keely Hodgkinson, Natoya Goule-Toppin, Nikki Hiltz, and Faith Kipyegon, each bringing their own uniqueness and dominance to the stage.

What makes Athlos even more exciting is the caliber of athletes taking part. The fields are packed with national and world record holders, Olympic champions, and World Champions. The best of the best all competing in one place. That kind of talent means fast times, big jumps, and unforgettable moments. With world-class athletes bringing their personalities, rivalries, and celebrations to Times Square, Athlos promises to be as fun as it is competitive, a true showcase of the sport at its highest level.

Also with Athlos taking place shortly after the World Championships, it adds another layer of intrigue. For some athletes, it’s a chance at redemption, to end the year on a high note and rewrite their season story. For others, it’s about carrying momentum, closing out an already incredible year with one final statement performance under the New York lights.
