The world's fastest man, Jamaican Usain Bolt, has announced his intention to run on home soil for the first time in about two years.

The 100 metres and 200m world record holder says he is eager to compete in Jamaica at the inaugural Racers Grand Prix scheduled for the National Stadium on June 11, reports CMC.

“I am really proud of the effort being made to put on a meet, the first actual track club in Jamaica to do that," Bolt said on Tuesday.

"I am very proud of my coach [Glen Mills| for making this move and I know it is going to be a great meet".

"I haven't run in Jamaica for a couple years, so I am looking forward to it People should come out and support because it will be good".
