The inaugural season of Grand Slam Track has reportedly come to an abrupt end.
The fourth and final stop of the league was scheduled for Los Angeles on June 28 at UCLA’s Drake Stadium, but according to multiple media reports, that stop was to be cancelled on Thursday.
The Independent reports that the cancellation is due to the economics of the L.A. event becoming financially unviable.
The league, founded by U.S. sprinting great Michael Johnson, remains committed to returning in 2026.
The inaugural season began in Kingston, Jamaica, in early April before meets in Miramar, Fla., and Philadelphia last month. Philadelphia’s meet had its schedule condensed from three days, like the previous two Slams, to two days.
Canada’s Marco Arop was the lone Canadian athlete to commit to the full season and competed in the three previous meets. The 26-year-old from Edmonton won the short distance Slam title in Philadelphia.
More to come.
