Athlos is a professional, female-only track and field meeting series that was first held at Icahn Stadium in New York City on September 26, 2024. In 2026, the event became a two-event series with the addition of the Athlos: London meet, held at the StoneX Stadium in Barnet, London.
History, premise The first meeting was originally announced in April 2024 and was initially referred to as the "776 Invitational". It was inspired by the success of the Angel City FC club and a desire to showcase women's track and field more often than once every four years for the Summer Olympics.
Named after the Greek word for athletics, the first meeting was intended to highlight women's track and field and make the sport a spectator-friendly experience by simplifying the number of events down to six. It included the 100 m, 100 m hurdles, 200 m, 400 m, 800 m, and 1500 m. It featured a total of 36 athletes competing in these six events, including Gabby Thomas, Alexis Holmes, and Faith Kipyegon. After the races ended, Megan Thee Stallion performed, concluding her Hot Girl Summer Tour.
The first edition was described as entertaining with good feedback from athletes, but LetsRun.com noted that the meeting had an uncertain future due to fan response.
The second edition of Athlos was held on October 10, 2025 and included the long jump, which Tara Davis-Woodhall headlined.
The third edition introduced a second meet, Athlos: London, held in September, with the event now becoming an aggregate series for prize purposes.
