Three Paris 2024 Olympic champions, Noah Lyles, Julien Alfred and Grant Holloway, are set to headline the 2025 New Balance Indoor Grand Prix, organizers announced today.

Tickets for the event at the TRACK at new balance on Sunday, Feb. 2, 2025, which forms part of the World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold, are now on sale at www.nbindoorgrandprix.com or by calling 1-877-849-8722. 

Returning to defend his crown, Noah Lyles is set to make his seventh appearance at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix. Lyles is coming off a season that began with a victory here in Boston and saw him win his first USA national indoor title at 60m, two silver medals at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Glasgow, both the 100m and 200m finals at the US Olympic Trials and finally gold and bronze medals at the Paris Olympics in the 100m and 200m, respectively. In Boston, Lyles will be attempting his fourth-consecutive New Balance Indoor Grand Prix victory over 60m.

Also attempting his fourth-straight victory in the Viva Tequila Seltzer Men’s 60m Hurdles at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix will be Grant Holloway. Holloway is widely regarded as the best indoor hurdler in history, having won the 2022 and 2024 World Athletics Indoor Championships and owning eight of the nine fastest times ever recorded, including the world record of 7.27 set earlier this year. Outdoors, Holloway is just as dominant, having won the 2019, 2022 and 2023 World Athletics Championships and last summer’s 2024 Olympic Games in the 110m hurdles. Over the past six years he has gone sub-13 on twelve separate occasions – more than any other athlete in history – while his outdoor lifetime best of 12.81 makes him the second-fastest man in history.

Making her New Balance Indoor Grand Prix debut is one of the new stars on the Mount Olympus of sprinting: Julien Alfred of St. Lucia. A seven-time NCAA champion at the University of Texas, Alfred is coming off a storybook 2024 season that saw her win the World Athletics Indoor Championships at 60m, the Wanda Diamond League title at 100m and Olympic gold and silver medals at 100m and 200m, respectively. A national hero in her native St. Lucia, Alfred’s gold and silver medals from Paris are the first Olympic medals in any sport in her nation’s history. With a personal best of 10.72, clocked during the Olympic final, Alfred is the equal eighth-fastest woman in history.

Leading the field in the men’s 1500m will be one of the world’s best middle-distance runners in recent years, Jake Wightman of Great Britain & Northern Ireland. In 2022, Wightman became the first British man since 1983 to win gold at the World Athletics Championships over 1500m, with a thrilling win in a personal best of 3:29.23. That same year, Wightman won the silver medal over 800m at the European Championships and took home the bronze medal in the 1500m for Scotland at the Commonwealth Games.

One of the year’s most promising distance runners, Parker Valby will make her professional racing debut at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix. As a student athlete at the University of Florida, Valby was a dominant force, winning six individual NCAA Championships for the Florida Gators, including the 3000m and 5000m at the 2024 NCAA Indoor Championships at the TRACK at new balance. Last summer, Valby finished second in the 10,000m at the US Olympic Trials, qualifying her for her first Olympic Games, where she finished eleventh in the 10,000m. In Boston, Valby will race in the 3000m.

The 2025 New Balance Indoor Grand Prix will be shown live on NBC from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. EST on Sunday, Feb. 2 and is a founding member of the World Athletics Indoor Tour. The series of the best indoor athletics events around the world awards overall tour winners $10,000 and a guaranteed spot at the 2025 World Athletics Indoor Championships in Nanjing, China.
