THE TRACK at New Balance is the newest sanctuary of our sport in the Boston area. The facility comes from Beynon Sports.
Surfaces and is built on the New Balance campus.
2023 will be the first year of complete operation. Already, NB has announced eighty events and 250 practice sessions.
You can find the schedule for the 2022-2023 season right here.
The Indoor track facility will hold 5,000 fans.
Indoor track & field is a boisterous affair. I recall past New Balance Indoor GP meetings where I was on my feet for the entire
two-plus hours! I had that in meets in Malmo, Sweden, Birmingham, England, and Prague. Orchestrating a great meeting is
a difficult task. The building of interest in the races and finishing with a series of events will leave the audience hoping for
another track meet tomorrow!
THE TRACK at New Balance looks fantastic! I can not wait to visit the facility and savor a great indoor event! New Balance and
its staff has put a lot of money and effort into building this facility.
What is a sanctuary to sport? Any building that provides a haven to learn our sport, to participate in our sport, and that gives
the culture, young and old, a chance to run, jump and throw, and to watch those athletes, is a sanctuary of sport. My guess is
that in its first year, over 100,000 fans, athletes, and coaches will experience indoor track at THE TRACK at New Balance.
See you soon!
