ABOUT

The 2019 Boulevard Mile is presented by

New England Distance

New England Distance is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization with a unique dual mission to promote health and well-being among children while providing support to post-collegiate athletes who compete on a national and international stage. Our elite athletes coach cross country and track and field at nine urban middle schools in Woonsocket and Providence that have had their athletic programs discontinued due to budget cuts. Through running, NE Distance has made a difference in the schools by bringing an increase in the number of youth participants in athletics, as well as improvements in students’ GPA, school attendance, wellness metrics, and social and emotional development. We believe that everyone should have access and opportunity to gain value through athletics.

All proceeds from this race will directly benefit nine middle school

cross country and track & field programs.
