The world’s fastest athletes are coming to Back Bay on June 16.
The adidas Boost Boston Games and Back Bay Mile race will be on June 16, bringing world-class athletes to compete in and around Copley Square.
Back Bay Mile
The first-annual adidas Boost Back Bay Mile is a road race that will test your speed in the heart of Boston. The course takes you down Newbury Street to Gloucester Street, and then turns down Boylston Street to the finish line on the specially constructed sprint track that features the same surface you saw at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. As part of the adidas Boost Boston Games, the five-lane track will have Olympic and World Champion track athletes competing at the conclusion of the mile races. This road mile welcomes all ages and abilities to participate.
Boost Boston Games
With an elevated straight track constructed along Boylston Street between Exeter and Clarendon Streets, the world’s fastest men and women will sprint down to Copley Square, wowing fans and breaking records as the viewing public watches from only feet away from the track.
VIP seats just after the finish sell for $125 and come with an adidas shirt, food and beverage and a $50 adidas gift card.

Meet and mingle with other Francophiles while celebrating La Chandeleur!
Also called Crêpe Day, la Chandeleur is a French holiday during which people traditionally eat crêpes and drink cidre. Though la Chandeleur is often associated with the Catholic holiday of Candlemas, it actually stems from pagan traditions. And, of course, there is the traditional coin ritual: if you can flip a crêpe while holding a coin in your other hand, you and your family will not have to worry about financial problems. There is even a fun legend that ties Napoleon’s misfortune with his time in Russia with the flipping of the crêpes!
The French Cultural Center will observe this popular holiday with crêpes and a variety of delicious toppings. All ages are invited and welcome to attend!
Please note: When you register for a family, you are registering per family. You will be required to answer a question on the number of family members that will attend.
Early RSVP recommended.
