The TRACK at New Balance is a 455,000 square foot facility housing a track and field stadium located near Boston Landing station in Boston Massachusetts.

Construction began in April 2019 and the facility opened in 2022.[2] The facility was designed by architecture firm Elkus Manfredi and was a finalist for the 2023 World Architecture News Awards in the leisure category.[3]

The facility includes a 200 meter hydraulically-banked track and allows space for 5,000 spectators. There's also 24,000 square feet dedicated athletes warming-up, a separate live music entertainment venue for up to 3,500 people, and a 20,000 square foot sports research lab. The track can also be converted to space for basketball and volleyball courts as well as turf fields.[4]
