The run calendar starts out slow every year and then quickly turns our entire team into a human cannonball. Lock down the pop-up space on Newbury Street. Check. Purchase a derelict Ford Econoline van on Facebook marketplace and turn it into a video and experiential prop? Check. Partner with Autocamp for a free weekend getaway to any of their iconic wilderness-steeped locations? Check. Lock down a hotel rooftop for our post-race party. Checkmate. We'll see you at 119 Newbury Street, and in the meantime, enjoy this special Boston edition of the B-Mail. We've got our full weekend itinerary, Humble Quis gets the Dialed treatment, the journey of Nati Rose, 8 glamp & run experiences, the capsule collection, and race advice from Coach Finley. Okayyyy, let's go.

THE CAPSULE

The latest and greatest in our signature Youtube series, Dialed, chronicles the journey of longtime friend, and newest Bandit Athlete, Marquis Bowden, in the lead up to the 128th running of the Boston Marathon (and fun fact: it's year 100 of the race starting in Hopkinton).
NEW DIALED

He's something of a marathon scientist himself. Let Coach Finley walk you through 5 important tips for the psychologically complex, hilly, but ultimately net downhill course that is the epic journey from Hopkinton to Boylston.
WISE WORDS
05
Rose's run journey just started during the tail-end of the pandemic. Since then, Nati has clocked over 2k miles, run 9 marathons, too many halves and 5ks to count, and she will toe the line this Monday at Boston to achieve her 6th star in one single year. This is an interview to inspire. Good luck, Nati!
