A cash prize of $50,000 will be awarded to the winners of six events: men's and women's 100 metres, the men's 110 metre hurdles, women's 400 metres, men's discus and women's shot put. 

However, winners must attain a minimum performance standard to secure the funds. The meet gets underway at 2:00 pm.
