2022 AFL Grand Final Sprint
The AFL Grand Final sprint is an annual event which usually takes place at half-time of AFL Grand Final. It was first held in 1979. There has also been a kicking competition. Since 2021, there has also been a women's sprint event.
2022 Winner: Hugo Ralphsmith (Richmond)
The 2022 Grand Final sprint returned to a full field, unlike in 2021 where border restrictions meant that only runners from West Coast and Fremantle participated. The runners raced over 100m sprint along the 50m arc, a nod to the sponsors Colgate smile. The sprint was held at the first break.
