In contrast to last year, the 2025 edition will also feature a field event in long jump, besides the 6 track events, and will be headlined by the Olympic jump champion, Davis-Woodhall.

Ahead of this star-studded event next month, the tracks at the iconic Icahn Stadium in Randall Island Park, New York, are getting a bit of a touch-up. As per the recent pictures shared by Randall Island Park's Instagram handle, the tracks can be seen covered in shades of blue for the 2025 Athlos.

Additionally, Ohanian also expressed excitement for the fans who can watch the likes of top athletes competing in a specific team. Ohanian said (via CNBC Television, 8:47 onwards):

"So we are modeling this inspired a lot by NCAA Track and Field, so there's a point system. Imagine your favorite runners of the world, Sha'Carri Richardson can finally be competing on a team with Tara Davis-Woodhall, you know, one is a sprinter and other one's a long jumper. But by having a team-based track and field meet, you're gonna have all those events in three cities."
