Gill Athletics Sprint Start Sled

Gill Athletics Sprint Start Sled

The Gill Athletics Sprint Start Sled combines block-start mechanics with sled resistance to help sprinters build power, drive, and acceleration strength. Its unique frame is designed to clear and wrap around virtually any starting blocks, allowing athletes to stay in a true sprint-start position while towing resistance. Developed in collaboration with Colorado State University sprint coach Tim Cawley, this sled provides a natural, progressive training tool for improving the first steps out of the blocks. Olympic-style weight plates can be added to increase resistance, making it suitable for sprinters of all levels. Each system comes complete with the sled, an 11 ft lead, and an adjustable hook-and-loop belt that fits waists up to 42 inches.
