Local running apparel companies Tracksmith and Janji are popping up near the finish line of the Boston Marathon during the month of April and into May. Both stores are the latest pop-up installations in The Newbury Collection.
Dubbing the project Run Boston Shop Boston, Jamestown Properties is aiming to give the international running community a taste of Boston area athletic-wear brands. Janji will be returning to 144 Newbury Street after a successful pop-up shop last holiday season, while Tracksmith is opening their Bobbi Gibb inspired experience at 899 Boylston Street.
Both brands hail from Greater Boston and will present unique programming in their respective spaces, drawing on the region’s rich running history and active fitness networks. Some of the events include midnight runs, guest running clubs, book signings, pasta parties, and fitness classes.
With the influx of international runners in town for the marathon, Run Boston Shop Boston will showcase a combination of broad appeal with local sensibilities. Janji, for example, is focused on the social mission of combating the global water crisis. Donating a portion of each sale to various partnerships in different countries, Janji offers the opportunity for runners to shop with a social conscience and give back through their everyday training.
Tracksmith is a New England heritage running brand that celebrates the style and culture of the sport. The pop-up shop will highlight Bobbi Gibb, the first woman to run the entire Boston Marathon, featuring an art gallery with some of her pieces and a limited-edition Bobbi Gibb short.
