Men's 300 m hurdles prize money
The Diamond League has paid $90,000 in the men's 300 m hurdles, to fifteen athletes across three runnings of it, from 2025 to 2026. Karsten Warholm has taken more of it than anyone, $26,000.
The series pays by finishing place and by nothing else, so a win here is worth what a win in any other discipline is worth: $10,000 at a 2026 series meeting, eight places paid, and nothing for ninth. It has never been on the programme for the series final, so the final ladder has never applied to it.

What the men's 300 m hurdles paid each season
season running total
The line is the running total. A season's figure is the rate multiplied by how many meetings put the discipline on, so the columns move with the programme rather than with who turned up: 2025 ran it twice and 2026 once. Nobody has ever shared the win in it, so every figure in the win column is one athlete's cheque.
Where the men's 300 m hurdles is run
The meetings that have put it on, and what each has paid for it
| MEETING | RUNNINGS | PAID FOR IT |
|---|---|---|
| Bislett Games | 1 | $30,000 |
| Shanghai Diamond League | 1 | $30,000 |
| Xiamen Diamond League | 1 | $30,000 |
| 3 meetings | 3 | $90,000 |
Every meeting pays the same ladder, so this column ranks how often each one put the discipline on rather than how generous it is. Each meeting links to everything it has paid across every edition of it.

The ladder this discipline has been paid under
| PLACE | SERIES |
|---|---|
| 1st | $10,000 |

One column per ladder, and none of them is specific to this discipline: the men's 300 m hurdles is paid on the same card as the 100 m and the shot put at the same meeting. There is no appearance money in any of it, nothing for a record, and nothing at all for ninth place. It has never been picked as a Diamond+ discipline, so it has always paid the standard ladder.
