The proliferation of The Marathon throughout downtown Boston continues.  Pictured is New Balance’s ad campaign in the Park Street T station.  Note that because they are not an official sponsor, they can’t use the phrase “Boston Marathon” in their materials. 

This is a super clever ad campaign. I love that not being able to use “Boston Marathon” in their ads is almost used as an advantage to New Balance, because it forces them to be more creative and produce ads like this that only runners would fully understand. “Boston Overqualified” is genius. I wish I thought of that.

NB Boston Marathon ads popping up all over the city. Love it.

New Balance Indoor Grand Prix

Holy crap. Why am I just finding out now that Jenny Simpson, Sara Hall, Anna Pierce, Maggie Vessey, Shannon Rowbury, Mo Farah, and Galen Rupp will all be in Boston tomorrow competing at Reggie? Argh. Tickets are all sold out. Anyone want to casually run around Reggie with me from roughly 6pm-8pm just on the off chance one of them chooses to warm up outside? That’s not weird, right?
