From family time to track time!
The holiday season may be over, but the track & field season is just heating up as we head into a big weekend of competition.
Three meets are on the docket for our athletes—and regional rivals, too. The action begins Saturday morning at the TRACK at New Balance with the MSTCA Boston Holiday Challenge. Sunday brings a twin bill, starting with the MSTCA Distance Classic at the Reggie Lewis Center and wrapping up with our third annual Marathon Sports Winter Warriors HS Invitational at the TRACK at New Balance. Bay State Running (BSR) will be providing a free live stream of the Winter Warrior Invite.
Expect fierce competition as we close out the final statewide meets of 2025. BSR will get you all cauight up on this weekend’s action with previews of all three meets. Below are the schedule of events for all three meets as well as links to entries/live results.
