Nulo Pet Food becomes official sponsor for Miami, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles Slams; Nulo Brand Partner Gabby Thomas will race twice at each Slam

New York, NY (April 22, 2025) - Grand Slam Track™, the global home of professional track competition launched by four-time Olympic Champion Michael Johnson, today officially announced Nulo as its official Pet Food Partner. Nulo will serve as a sponsor for the remainder of the 2025 season. Fans will see Nulo-specific branded elements at the upcoming Miami Slam, May 2–4, plus the Philadelphia Slam, May 30–June 1, and Los Angeles Slam, June 27-29. Grand Slam Track™’s exclusive sales agency, Team Playmaker, helped secure the partnership.

“We’re delighted to welcome Nulo to the Grand Slam Track™ family,” said Grand Slam Track™ Founder and Commissioner Michael Johnson. “Health and nutrition is important for all of us, our pets included. 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.”

Nulo and Grand Slam Track™ have plenty in common, highlighted by the shared values of fueling wellness, and promoting good health and nutrition. Nulo’s recipes are exactly what active pets need. They’re high in animal-based protein, low in carbs and use low-glycemic ingredients to promote healthy body conditions and stable energy. Nulo also adds a patented probiotic to aid with digestion that survives the cooking process, shelf life and is viable in a pet’s digestive tract. All of the ingredients are carefully selected with intention and purpose, to be functional, delicious and nutritious.

Grand Slam Track™ signed Racer, and Kingston Slam Champion, Gabby Thomas is also a Brand Partner with Nulo, alongside her dog Rico (aka Rico Thee Pug).

“As a Nulo ambassador, I’m excited to see Nulo and Grand Slam Track™ join forces,” said Gabby Thomas, Grand Slam Track™ signed Racer and Nulo Brand Partner. “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.” -

“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 partnership is a perfect match of shared values around health, nutrition, and the importance of both mental and physical well-being.”

Grand Slam Track™’s inaugural Slam took place in Kingston, Jamaica, April 4–6. More than $3m in prize money was won by competitors. Alongside Thomas, Grand Slam Track™’s roster of talent includes Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, Kenny Bednarek, Melissa Jefferson-Wooden, Alison Dos Santos, Grant Fisher, Matthew Hudson-Smith, Diribe Welteji, & Sasha Zhoya, all of whom were Slam Champions and took home $100,000 each in Kingston.
