The special recognition comes just days after Fraser-Pryce officially announced her retirement from athletics, closing the curtain on an extraordinary 18-year career that produced 25 global medals, including three Olympic golds and 10 World Championship titles.

In a statement, the organizers expressed their admiration for the iconic Jamaican sprinter, saying:

Founded by Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, Athlos was created to celebrate and elevate women’s excellence in track and field by offering top-tier competition, visibility, and financial rewards.

The 2025 edition will feature an elite line-up of athletes, including Jamaicans Megan Tapper and Natoya Goule-Toppin, alongside global stars such as Tara Davis-Woodhall, Faith Kipyegon, and Masai Russell. Athletes will compete across a range of events—from the 100 metres to the mile, as well as the long jump.

Each race will offer over US$100,000 in prize money, with US$60,000 going to the winner, underscoring the event’s commitment to recognizing and rewarding female athletes at the highest level.
