The New Balance Marathon Relay at the TRACK at New Balance to Kick Off Boston’s Biggest Running Weekend

The New Balance Marathon Relay to the TRACK at New Balance will return on April 18 at 3:00pm, welcoming back one of Boston’s most spirited and community‑driven running celebrations. With more than 2,000 spectators and over 450 runners in its inaugural year, the event aims to bring the city’s running community together to kick off race weekend.

Taking place at the state-of-the-art facility on New Balance’s campus, this year’s New Balance Marathon Relay to the TRACK at New Balance will bring together 25 teams, each running a combined 26.2 miles. The event is free and open to the public, so spectators can join in on the excitement to cheer on the runners and celebrate the joy and fun of Boston’s running community. Attendees can look forward to local food and beverage vendors, elevating the already electric atmosphere.

“April in Boston is unlike anything else in the world of running. The city comes to life celebrating and running like no other place in the world. The New Balance Marathon Relay at the TRACK at New Balance allows us to celebrate the running community in such a fun and different way,” said Tom Carleo, Vice President of Running at New Balance. “This event brings together runners who simply love the sport—whether they are new to it or experienced veterans and captures the essence of why people run in the first place: the chance to move freely, enjoy the moment, and have fun doing so.”

The New Balance Marathon Relay to the TRACK at New Balance will build on the launch of the brand’s latest running innovation, the Ellipse. Created to help runners lose track of time in a culture that often places metrics and pace above the experience itself, the Ellipse brings a renewed sense of ease and enjoyment to everyday miles. That feeling carries into the New Balance Marathon Relay at the TRACK at New Balance, creating a space where runners can reconnect with the freedom and fun of running, one lap at a time.
