Adidas is excited to begin its 21st year as the Official Footwear and Apparel Supplier of the Boston Marathon. In 2009, adidas renews its commitment to the marathon by playing a key role not only in the race, but in all Boston Athletic Association programs. This year adidas will supply exclusive Boston Marathon jackets to over 9,000 B.A.A. volunteers and 3,500 other media and officials. Also, the official collection of 2009 Boston Marathon performance apparel and footwear will be available to race participants and fans at the John Hancock Sports & Fitness Expo as well as select local retailers. In an effort to celebrate the marathon all weekend long, adidas supports a series of pre-race events including the B.A.A. Relay Challenge and autograph sessions from some of the world's best including Grete Waitz, Jen Rhines and Ian Dobson. Leading up to the race adidas will also be hosting marathon training clinics at Marathon Sports on January 26th, February 23rd, March 23rd and April 6th.
Adidas has been a sponsor of the B.A.A. Running Club since 1992. In 1999, adidas and the B.A.A. unveiled their joint venture consisting of a long-term, year-round running program designed to promote overall fitness and health among Boston-area youths throughout Boston Public Schools. Since then, more than 15,000 kids have participated in adidas-sponsored B.A.A. events.
Adidas's founder, Adi Dassler, had a passion for running and a passion to make equipment to help every
athlete perform at their best. Today adidas remains committed to making the best running products available.
