This meet is the work of Global Athletics & Marketing. In their second year with this meet, GAM has put on a the NB Boston Indoor for 23 plus years and put on the NY Diamond league meeting for over a decade. adidas decided that they wanted to shake things up a bit, and Global Athletics pitched adidas on a meet with both stadium and street persona.
June 2016 saw the first adidas Boost Boston meet. Brett Schumacher, the Chief of Operations for Global Athletics spoke to RunBlogRun earlier today. Brett spoke of the 2016 meet and recognized the challenge of laying a track on Charles street in 24 hours. Now, they have one day more! Makes a huge difference.
We look forward to the second year of the adidas Boost Boston Games on June 2 and June 4 and hope to see you there!
