Introducing Street Meet

Street Meet Boston

Think all-day track meets are boring? Yeah, so do we.

That’s why the World’s Fastest Man, Usain Bolt, and Puma are reinventing track by taking it to the streets. The Street Meet mixes the atmosphere of a Jamaican street carnival with the excitement of unexpected racing. It strips running to its core - go as fast as you can. There are no times or exact distances; no track is required. Anyone can run. The day’s fastest will compete for the title of Street Meet Champion.

“Before I started breaking world records, I played soccer and cricket, hoping to one day make it as a professional athlete. I wasn’t thinking about Olympic gold. I never even thought that I was that fast until someone told me I should give track a try. The next year I was World Junior Champion at 200 meters. It happened that fast.”

Truth is: some of the fastest athletes in the world never step on a track because they choose another sport instead. But what if the Street Meet discovered them first?

Usain Bolt is taking the Street Meet around the world looking for the next World’s Fastest - the next athlete who will redefine the boundaries of human speed. Sound like you? Stay tuned to find out when Street Meet is coming to your city.
