Be aware that your Nikon is much better for tracking subjects with a modern lens like the 70-200 f/4 than anything in m4/3.

Before taking the plunge, here's an advice :

Rent an E-M1 + 40-150 f/2.8 Pro for one event.

If the camera operation is great for you and the pictures are up to your taste, then m4/3 is the right choice for you.

If not, it will save you a lot of hassle.

I completely agree with that. It seems you have a pretty good setup for the price for you most demanding task (shooting runners). If you are used to that, the switch to m43 might cost a lot compared to what you will get in return, so test it if you can.

Having a dslr + coolpix A seems like a good kit to me.

In M43 you could also go the panasonic way and move to something like g(x)85 + 35-100 f2.8 for an even smaller kit than em-1 (I or II) + 40-150 f2.8.

You can also use the panasonic lenses with olympus bodies and vice versa but not always in the optimum way.
