New Balance opens a new sports facility The TRACK

New Balance continues to make moves in the areas of culture, sport and innovation. These three characteristics form the basis of The TRACK. A new multi-sport facility, which the brand recently opened in Boston, America. The New Balance team will train professional and community athletes in the building throughout the year. In this blog, you will get a tour of the building!

The TRACK

In the building there is an indoor track with two terrains, which can be changed into a field such as basketball, football and volleyball courts. The TRACK can therefore fulfil several needs. In addition, the building nextdoor, the Roadrunner, is a concert hall of 50,000 square metres.

Sports Research Lab

The most impressive thing about The TRACK is the Sports Research Lab. Which occupies over 19,000 square metres of the building. Where you can find equipment of very high quality. It allows the New Balance Team to train the athletes and enhance their performance in real time. The lab includes 360-degree motion capture devices, force plates to measure foot pressure and more.
