PHILADELPHIA – Excitement is mounting as preparations advance for the 128th running of the Penn Relays, presented by Toyota, set to take place on April 25-27, 2024.
Since their return in 2022, the Relays have undergone various changes and additions aimed at enhancing the experience for both competitors and fans. A significant change in 2022 was the alignment of collegiate schedules for men and women, with most events for both genders being held on Friday and Saturday. Additionally, the Relays extended their professional scope with the introduction of Olympic Development events.
In 2023, the Relays initiated a rotation system for high school athletes, allowing girls to showcase their talents on Saturday. This approach will continue, with the boys’ program scheduled for Friday and Saturday in 2024, while the girls will compete on Thursday and Friday.

The latest addition to the 2024 program, announced earlier this week, is the Global Relays. These will take place on Saturday afternoon in partnership with World Athletics. The Relays staff is enthusiastic about hosting top-tier global competition in men’s and women’s 4×100 and 4×400 relays at Franklin Field. Over 12 nations, including some of the world’s best in their respective events, have already signaled their intent to participate ahead of the 2024 Olympic year.
The ticket renewal process for prior purchasers of the 2024 Penn Relays will commence on Friday, December 15, 2023. This will include a limited availability of premium finish line seating. The sale of all other reserved and general admission tickets will open to the public on Monday, January 29, 2024.
