ATHLOS NYC 2025: Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce set to be honoured in celebration of her legendary career

The ATHLOS NYC 2025 track meet is set to be a memorable event as the legendary Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce will be specially celebrated as a Guest of Honour, acknowledging her iconic career.

Announcing this on their social media platforms, the ATHLOS organizers revealed the Jamaican sprint queen will be given her honours as she retires from the sport.

"Icons don’t just run fast, they move generations. ATHLOS honors Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce this Friday at Icahn Stadium, celebrating a lifetime of speed, excellence, and legacy."

ATHLOS boss Alexis Ohanian also stated on the @CBSMornings show that honouring Fraser-Pryce felt very right, and his wife Serena Williams will be present for the crowning moment.

The highly anticipated ATHLOS meet at the Icahn Stadium on Friday, October 10, will feature some of the world's best female athletes competing for a chance to win the grand prize of $60,000 and a world record bonus of $250,000.

Despite the absence of notable names such as Sha'Carri Richardson and Melissa Jefferson-Wooden, who opted not to run after a long season but instead will show their support by being present for a meet and greet with fans.

The ATHLOS meet remains promising to deliver a good athletics competition, which will also have a fusion of entertainment as music star Ciarra is confirmed to perform.
