The Adidas Boost Boston Games (stylized as adidas BOOST Boston Games) was an annual track and field meeting and street meet in Boston, Massachusetts. The event was announced on the same day the Adidas Grand Prix meet in New York was removed from the Diamond League schedule in 2016.[1][2] The traditional track events were held in the Henry G. Steinbrenner Stadium on the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, while the street meet portion was held on an elevated straight track constructed between Boston Common and the Boston Public Garden.[3] The city games format ended 2021 and has been rebranded in 2023 as the adidas Atlanta City Games staged in Atlanta, Georgia.
The event has hosted several Olympic track and field athletes, including 400 m world record holder and Rio gold medalist Wayde van Niekerk in 2017.[4]
