2024
The Year of
the Amateur
To love. Some say it’s what makes us human. That it defines our existence. But it’s not without risk. Love teaches us about pain, heartbreak, and resilience. It encourages us to do the small things that make a big difference. Love shapes our days, weeks, months... Our years. Because the act of devotion eventually reveals a path to fulfillment we can’t find anywhere else. From its Latin roots, the word Amateur simply means “To Love.” In running, we are all amateurs.
For the Love.

The PR Bonus
Professional runners often have their efforts rewarded and acknowledged but amateurs rarely do. We want to change that. If you set a personal record between January 1st and April 30th of 2024 in any standard distance running or track & field event - from the 100m to the marathon, the triple jump to the shot put - earn a $100 credit towards your next Tracksmith purchase.
