Diamond Disciplines Confirmed for 2027 Prefontaine Classic
TrackTown USA and the Wanda Diamond League have confirmed the key events for the 2027 Prefontaine Classic, to take place at Hayward Field at the University of Oregon on Friday, July 2 and Saturday, July 3, 2027.
These confirmed events represent the 15 Diamond Disciplines to be contested at the Prefontaine Classic as part of the season-long Diamond League circuit of professional track and field meets worldwide. Athletes will earn points in the Diamond Disciplines in pursuit of a spot in the Diamond League Final in Zurich, Switzerland, on August 25 & 26.
Two of the confirmed events are Pre Classic enduring traditions: the Mutola 800m and the Bowerman Mile.
The Mutola 800m honors Maria Mutola, who won 16 races at the Pre Classic during her career. In last year’s Mutola 800m, all nine women finished the race in under two minutes.
Since 2019, the 93 finishers in Bowerman Mile races at the Pre Classic have all finished in a time under four minutes. The current men's mile national record for eleven different countries has been set in mile races at the Pre Classic.
The world records for the Men’s 110m Hurdles & Women’s 1500m were achieved at Hayward Field, and both disciplines will bring the world’s best back to Eugene for the 2027 Prefontaine Classic.
Fans of the throwing disciplines will see the Women’s Discus Throw and Women’s Shot Put. The men will also compete in both throwing events: Men’s Discus Throw and Men’s Shot Put. The Women’s Long Jump will join the events to be contested on the infield at Hayward Field.
On the track, the women's running events will include the Women’s 3000m Steeplechase, Women’s 100m and Women’s 100m Hurdles.
The Men’s 200m, Men’s 400m and Men’s 400m Hurdles will round out the Diamond Discipline events.
Additional events to be contested at the 2027 Prefontaine Classic will be announced at a later date.
