Organiser's description
ABOUT THIS EVENT
Theres nothing quite like a road mile. The track mile is predictable as we circle the track counterclockwise and receive a lap-by-lap gut check. The road mile offers fun through its equalizing variables: sharp turns, inclines, declines and competition over terrain we traverse on foot, by bike, and by car daily. While the track mile celebrates precision, the road mile celebrates pure racing against your peers. After a short break, Tracksmith is excited to announce the return of the Trackhouse Mile. As part of Open Newbury Street on October 15th, the Trackhouse Mile will kick off the days festivities with an all-comers mile race on Newbury Street, the home of our original Boston Trackhouse.
HEATS
Races will be broken into heats based on ability. Heats will get faster as the morning progresses. The first heat will start shortly after 10:00 a.m. During the bib pick-up process, we will gather seed times and arrange heats accordingly.
COURSE
The out-and-back course starts near the intersection of Newbury Street and Mass Avenue, continues east down Newbury Street before making a sharp, hairpin turn before Dartmouth Street. The race then continues west on Newbury headed back towards Mass Avenue and finishes back at the start.
