Venue | Drake Stadium, University of California, Los Angeles |
Level | World Athletics Continental Tour Gold |
The USATF Los Angeles Grand Prix is an annual track and field meeting held at the Drake Stadium track in Los Angeles. Founded in 2023, the meeting was designed to attract international athletics talent to the city in advance of the 2028 Summer Olympics. It is a World Athletics Continental Tour Gold level meeting – the second-highest level of athletics meetings behind the Diamond League.[1]
The meeting is organized by USA Track and Field, and it ran concurrently with the USATF Legends Jam music festival. Its debut received mixed reception, hindered by the late withdrawal of several top athletes. USATF CEO Max Siegel noted that the meeting lost money, drawing a crowd of 4,500 to 7,249 people by different estimates.[2]
At the inaugural edition, Ryan Crouser broke his shot put world record, throwing three of the six farthest marks of all time in his series.[3]
