@10 : World Athletics Indoor Tour expands, prize money increased

The World Athletics Indoor Tour, now in its 10th year, has once again expanded with a packed 2025 calendar featuring more than 60 meetings across all levels.

The series will feature nine Gold level meetings, more than any season in the past, kicking off in Astana on 25 January and culminating in Madrid on 28 February.

The scoring disciplines on the World Athletics Indoor Tour rotate each year. For 2025 the Gold level scoring disciplines are:

Women: 60m, 800m, 3000m/5000m, pole vault, triple jump, shot put

Men: 400m, 1500m/mile, 60m hurdles, high jump, long jump

Each athlete’s best three results will count towards their overall point score. The athlete with the most points in each scoring discipline at the end of the tour will be declared the winner and will be awarded a USD$10,000 bonus. They will also be offered a wild card entry for the World Athletics Indoor Championships Nanjing 25, due to be held on 21-23 March.

Each Gold meeting will offer at least USD$7000 in prize money for each World Indoor Tour scoring event and at least USD$5000 for additional disciplines on the programme.
