The story

Racers Grand Prix in Kingston

An annual track and field meet at Kingston's National Stadium, organized around Racers Track Club, the club that trained Usain Bolt, Yohan Blake and other elite Jamaican sprinters. Its inaugural 2016 staging saw Bolt win the 100 metres in 9.88 seconds, and its 2017 edition served as Bolt's final competitive race on Jamaican soil before roughly 35,000 fans.

The Racers Grand Prix debuted on June 11, 2016, at Kingston's National Stadium, and its first staging delivered an immediate marquee moment: Usain Bolt won the 100 metres in 9.88 seconds, with training partner Yohan Blake finishing third in 9.94 and Asafa Powell fourth in 9.98, putting three of the fastest sprinters in history, all Jamaican, on the same start line in front of a home crowd.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The meet's defining feature is its direct link to Racers Track Club's roster, giving Kingston fans a home-soil chance to watch club training partners like Bolt, Blake and Powell race each other rather than only meeting at international circuit events abroad

02

The mystery stays covered

Its 2017 Salute to a Legend edition, closing with Bolt's farewell relay leg before a full National Stadium, gave the meet a singular historic moment tied specifically to this venue and fixture
