From the Organizer
We're adding a festive new event to this year's program—The Santa Mile!
This is your chance to lace up your running shoes and join the holiday fun on the track. We're inviting all parents, coaches, and spectators to run an all-comers mile with one simple rule: you must wear a Santa hat or Santa costume. Santa hats will be provided if you don't have one.
The Santa Mile will take place at the start of each day at the Beantown Winter Classic at the TRACK at New Balance - one of the fastest indoor tracks in the country! Day 1 will take place on Saturday 12/20 and Day 2 will take place on Sunday 12/21. This race will be limited to 40 athletes per day.
Don't miss out on this new tradition! Grab your Santa hat and get ready to jingle all the way to the finish line.
