NEW YORK, NY — In a dynamic alliance that blends elite athleticism with cutting-edge nutrition, Grand Slam Track has announced Nulo Pet Food as its Official Pet Food Partner for the remainder of the 2025 season.
The partnership brings a shared commitment to performance, wellness, and premium quality—both on the track and in the lives of pet lovers around the world.
Three-city takeover: Miami, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles Slams get the Nulo touch
Nulo’s sponsorship will be prominently featured at three upcoming marquee events: the Miami Slam (May 2–4), the Philadelphia Slam (May 30–June 1), and the Los Angeles Slam (June 27–29). Fans attending or tuning in to any of these electrifying competitions will encounter Nulo-branded activations woven into the vibrant experience that Grand Slam Track has quickly become known for.
Helping bring this partnership to life was Team Playmaker, the exclusive sales agency for Grand Slam Track, which secured the collaboration between the league and the innovative pet nutrition brand.
A perfect match: Shared values of fuel, focus, and performance
At the core of this partnership lies a shared philosophy: optimal performance starts from within. Nulo’s food formulas—high in animal-based protein, low in carbs, and crafted with low-glycemic ingredients—are designed to mirror the discipline and drive required by world-class athletes. A patented probiotic aids in digestion, while every ingredient is handpicked to ensure flavor, functionality, and health.
“Health and nutrition is important for all of us, our pets included,” said Michael Johnson, four-time Olympic champion and Founder and Commissioner of Grand Slam Track. “Nulo is the exact sort of partner that we want to have as a part of our league, as they provide premium fuel for our pets, and we provide a premium experience for competitors and fans alike at our Slams.”
Gabby & Rico take center stage: A star racer, a star pup
The partnership is also a natural extension of Nulo’s relationship with Grand Slam Track signed racer Gabby Thomas, who stormed to victory at the Kingston Slam, the league’s inaugural event held April 4–6 in Jamaica. Alongside her ever-popular pug Rico, Thomas is a proud Nulo Brand partner and embodies the synergy between peak performance and holistic well-being.
“As a Nulo ambassador, I’m excited to see Nulo and Grand Slam Track join forces,” said Thomas. “If you follow me, you already know my pug Rico is a big fan, and this is a dream partnership involving all the nutritious treats he loves. I look forward to continuing a successful season with Grand Slam Track, and also off the track with this great support from Nulo.”
Redefining performance: On the track and beyond
“At Nulo, we understand that true performance—on the track or in everyday life—starts with what you put into your body,” said Michael Landa, CEO of Nulo. “Grand Slam Track is redefining excellence in professional track, and we’re proud to fuel the journey of athletes like Gabby Thomas and their four-legged companions.”
This season, Grand Slam Track is setting a new global benchmark for professional track & field. With events broadcast in 189 countries and territories, and more than $3 million already awarded to athletes—including $100,000 prizes to each Slam Champion in Kingston—the league is reshaping how track is experienced, consumed, and celebrated.
Athletes such as Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, Kenny Bednarek, Melissa Jefferson-Wooden, Alison Dos Santos, Grant Fisher, Matthew Hudson-Smith, Diribe Welteji, and Sasha Zhoya are among the standout talents competing for glory in upcoming Slams.
