The 2025 Kingston Slam was an outdoor track and field meeting held from 4–6 April 2025 in The National Stadium, Kingston, Jamaica.[1] It was the inaugural meet of the 2025 Grand Slam Track season, the debut season of Michael Johnson's Grand Slam Track league.
The city was confirmed as the first Grand Slam Track leg on 11 November 2024. It was the second of four cities to be announced, after the Los Angeles Slam was announced as part of the league's launch.[2] A full field of 96 athletes from 20 countries to compete at the meet was announced on 13 March, though ten scratches and replacements were announced on 31 March.[3][4]
The meeting offered US$100,000 of prize money for the winners of each of six men's and six women's event groups, in addition to appearance fees and league salaries. The meet was billed by the media as a test of the Grand Slam Track series' viability and the broader popularity of track and field in North America.[5]
Some signed racers, including Devon Allen and Luis Grijalva, missed the Kingston Slam due to injuries. Additional challengers stepped in as replacements.[6]
