Ferdinand Omanyala won the men's 150m race at the Atlanta City Games, setting a new African record of 14.70 seconds, surpassing his previous record of 14.89 seconds from the same event in 2023. The race was initially anticipated as a showdown between Omanyala and Noah Lyles, but Lyles withdrew due to a tight ankle injury. Alexander Ogando was disqualified for a false start, further clearing Omanyala's path to victory.

Akani Simbine won the men's 100m race with a time of 9.86 seconds, though the time will not be officially recognized due to a high wind reading (2.3m/s).
