Which 2026 stop is listed as leg 9, two legs before London?

The 2026 stop listed as leg 9, two legs before London, is the Prefontaine Classic.

The 2026 Wanda Diamond League sequence runs through Shanghai, Xiamen, Rabat, Rome, Stockholm, Oslo, Doha and Paris before reaching Eugene’s Prefontaine Classic as leg 9. Monaco is leg 10, and London is leg 11, so Eugene is exactly two listed stops before London.

The Prefontaine Classic is held at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon. It honors Steve Prefontaine, the influential American distance runner who attended the University of Oregon and helped make Eugene a major center of track and field. The meeting began in 1973 as the Hayward Restoration Meet and adopted the Prefontaine Classic name in 1975.

The wrong options belong to different calendar positions: Golden Gala is in Rome, Bislett Games is in Oslo, and Meeting de Paris is in Paris. “Leg 9” refers to the meeting’s place in the season schedule, not a race distance or an edition number.
