2024 sees the sixth running of the Tracksmith Twilight series of summer races. Twilight meets have a long history in New England with the first ever twilight meet held at Northeastern University in 1988. Unlike an invitational or club championship, where points are tallied on a team basis, Twilight meets are about racing for yourself, sometimes anonymously. Runners show up to the line without affiliation, which means everyone is a possible dark horse. These races provide a low-pressure opportunity to ditch the bright colors and giant logos and fly under the radar.

Our Twilight series is designed to bring the racing experience of elite runners to everyone. Whether it’s your first time on the track or you’re a masters athlete who’s run more races than you can remember, these races will put you in the best position to hit your goals. Competition provides us with the opportunity to transcend our preconceived limits and we believe there’s real power in a PR. Runners of all backgrounds, experience and ability are invited to race.

Breaking Barriers

The focus of our Twilight series races is to provide the environment every runner needs to fulfill their potential. Our goal is to give every runner the experience of how it feels to be an elite – whether it’s your first time on the track or you’re a masters athlete who’s run more races than you can remember. Competition provides us with the opportunity to transcend our preconceived limits and we believe there’s real power in a PR. Runners of all backgrounds, experience and ability are invited to join – these races are for you and your running community. There is no qualifying standard.
