The Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center announced last Thursday a first-of-its-kind, multiyear partnership with the Boston Athletic Association, the nonprofit that hosts the Boston Marathon.

Members of a Black-led running group filed suit on the cusp of this year’s Boston Marathon alleging racial discrimination by race organizers and Newton police for the way they were corralled and surrounded while trying to cheer on their friends along the course at Heartbreak Hill during last year’s race.
