Of course, as a born-and-raised New Englander, at the top of that list is the Boston Marathon, which started 130 years ago. There are also the iconic Falmouth Road Race and Mount Washington Road Race, both of which have been in existence for over half a century. And, along with them, hidden in a little nook on the North Shore of Massachusetts, is the Yankee Homecoming 10 Mile, which will be celebrating its 66th running this July.
I had to blink the first time I landed on the product page for the Nike ACG Ultrafly Trail. I'd seen lots of promotional assets ahead of the release (see here and here), where the trainer is caked with mud. But in the end, it's hi-vis orange - and like any other brand-new shoe, being sold without a stain or scratch.
