Trackhouse Mile on Newbury

There’s 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 day’s festivities with an all-comers mile race on Newbury Street, the home of our original Boston Trackhouse.

The Trackhouse will host bib pickup starting Friday, October 13th through race morning on the 15th. Following the conclusion of the Trackhouse Mile, we invite racers and their friends to the Trackhouse lounge for awards and refreshments.

In the lead-up to the race, the Trackhouse team will be offering speed workouts at our Wednesday sessions aimed at honing mile speed. Each week one runner at our Sunday long run and Wednesday Speed will win an entry.
