"ATHLOS was launched by entrepreneur and Reddit co-founder, Alex Ohanian, and was first held in September 2024 in New York City. ATHLOS offers the opportunity for some of the top women in track and field to compete for record-breaking prize money (and custom Tiffany crowns). The crowns are handcrafted and designed by Tiffany & Co., exclusively for ATHLOS. The ATHLOS website describes ATHLOS as "music festival meets track and field meet." Music plays between each race, as well as walk-out songs for each athlete competing."
"Olympic and recent world gold medalist, Tara Davis-Woodhall, is no stranger to putting on a show. In fact, she embraces showmanship and wears her love for performing on the field like a badge of honor, which is why her addition to ATHLOS, a women's only track and field invitational, is the perfect match. The ATHLOS website describes ATHLOS as "music festival meets track and field meet." Music plays between each race, as well as walk-out songs for each athlete competing."
