From the Organizer

The 2026 Beantown Winter Classic will take place at the TRACK at New Balance on December 19–20. This NFHS-sanctioned event is designed predominantly for high school athletes of all ability levels, with select club and unattached events available.

Competitors will enjoy a professionally organized, high-level meet at one of the premier indoor facilities in the world. Top performers will earn medals, and all athletes will have the opportunity to kick off their winter season against strong competition. 

Additionally, we will kick off both days of action with Open/All-Comers "Santa Miles" for runners of all ages and abilities—a fun way to race at the TRACK and celebrate the holiday weekend in style.

For more information on the high school meet, click the link below. You can register for the Santa Mile below on RunSignup.

Day 1 will take place on Saturday 12/19 and Day 2 will take place on Sunday 12/20. This race will be limited to 40 athletes per day.

Don't miss out on this new tradition!
