If you鈥檝e qualified to run the 2016 Boston Marathon next April, you鈥檝e earned the right to participate in what might be America鈥檚 most famous race. As a perk, you鈥檙e also qualified to buy the special edition 聽that boutique running brand Tracksmith is issuing for the race.聽
The brand, headquartered in Wellesley, Massachusetts,聽the halfway point of the marathon, will vet each order with the Boston Athletic Association鈥檚 master list of confirmed registrants, so for those of you won鈥檛 run next year, you might want to check eBay in late April.
The piece borrows from Tracksmith鈥檚 thoughtfully designed old-school aesthetic, but is made of modern, performance-based Swiss mesh to wick sweat and breath well. It also includes four gold safety pins (read: rust-proof) for affixing your race bib.
The jerseys聽should start shipping in early 2016.
