- The Boston Indoor Games, known as the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix for sponsorship reasons, is an annual indoor track and field meet which is held in late January or early February at the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center. It was first held in Roxbury, a neighbourhood in Boston, in 1996 and has become one of the foremost events of its type in the United States, alongside the Millrose Games. The competition is part of USA Track and Field's Visa Championship Series and attracts high caliber athletes, including Olympic and World medalists. Since its inception, a total of six world records have been set at the event. Among them are performances by Ethiopian runner Tirunesh Dibaba, who set a world indoor record over 5000 metres in 2005 and improved that mark in 2007. The Boston Indoor Games has also featured numerous national records and United States all-comers records (the best performances recorded on US soil). The competition has had a number of title sponsors over its history, including adidas in the early 2000s and Reebok from 2005 to 2010. New Balance became the current title sponsor in 2011. The rights to the event are owned by Global Athletics & Marketing and Mark Wetmore is the meeting director. At the 2012 meeting, Jenn Suhr broke her own American record in the pole vault, clearing 4.88 m to become the second highest vaulter of all-time.
