Description
Who: Everyone. Street Meet is free and open to the public. (Of course, you might want to bring your wallet so you can enjoy some Jamaican food, buy a t-shirt, or bet your friends that you can run faster than 17 miles per hour.)
What: Street Meet takes everything that's exciting about track and drops it in the middle of a Jamaican street carnival. There will be open events in which anyone can participate, followed by the main events, which pit the fastest from Jamaica against the fastest from Boston against the fastest people "off the streets." If you're one of the fastest people in an open event, you'll advance to the main events.
When: Sunday, April 26, 1-6pm. Open events begin promptly at 1:00 and will end at 4:00. Entry into these events is on a first come, first serve basis, so don't roll down at 3:00 thinking you'll cruise into the final. The main events will start at approximately 4:30.
Where: 100 Northern Ave, Boston
By Car - There are several parking lots and garages within walking distance of the event. There is also street parking available on most streets.
By T - From South Station, take the new Silver Line one stop to Courthouse Station. South Station is accessible via the Red Line or the South and West Commuter Rail lines (Framingham, Franklin, Providence/Stoughton, Kingston, Middleborough, and Greenbush lines).
By Bus - There are several buses that run along Seaport Blvd and Summer Street, within walking distance of 100 Northern Ave. For more about public transportation, visit the MBTA website.
Why: Because Usain Bolt wants to see how fast you are. (And because there's good music, tasty food, Puma City, beautiful views of the city, five Jamaican Olympians, and fun and exciting races.)
