The Grand Slam Track, a bold new chapter in professional track competition founded by four-time Olympic champion Michael Johnson, has announced Rekortan as its Official Track Partner for the inaugural 2025 season.
This groundbreaking partnership will elevate track and field to new heights, ensuring that athletes compete on the highest-quality surfaces across all four Grand Slam Track events in Kingston, Miami, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles. Rekortan, renowned for its innovative track technology, will support track quality and maintenance, oversee warm-up areas, and provide elite-level equipment and surfaces to optimize athlete performance.
A game-changer in Kingston
At the heart of this partnership is Rekortan’s transformation of National Stadium in Kingston, Jamaica—a venue steeped in history and now equipped with a cutting-edge track to host the world’s fastest athletes. The resurfacing project has now been completed, with the newly installed surface set to be unveiled at the Kingston Grand Slam.
“We are thrilled to welcome Rekortan as our Official Track Partner,” said Michael Johnson, Founder and Commissioner of Grand Slam Track. “Rekortan’s history of providing top-quality, best-in-class tracks aligns perfectly with our vision for creating an extraordinary experience for our competing athletes. Their commitment to innovation and performance will ensure that Slams are built on a foundation of speed and precision, continuing to serve communities long after the event comes to a close.”
