Philadelphia leg of Grand Slam Track reduced to two days

Grand Slam Track, the global track and field series has announced that the upcoming Philadelphia Slam, has been reduced from three days to two.

The Philadelphia Slam, originally slated for three days, will now take place on May 31 and June 1 at Franklin Field Stadium in Philadelphia.

The decision to compress the schedule comes in response to feedback from athletes, coaches, and fans, according to founder and four-time Olympic Champion Michael Johnson,

Fans who purchased tickets for the original Friday schedule will automatically receive full refunds. 

Those who bought multi-day ticket packages that included Friday will receive partial refunds. 

The refund process begins on Friday, May 16, and is expected to take 5–7 business days.

Meantime, the men’s and women’s long distance race groups will each compete in a single 3000 meters race. 

Due to the fact that they will only be competing in one race at the slam, the long distance race groups will compete for an adjusted prize pool, with the winner taking home $50,000.
