Take for instance Boston’s Riverside Boat Club, which celebrated its 150th anniversary this year with its annual Cromwell Cup Regatta, the largest summer regatta held on the Charles River. Or Newport, Rhode Island, which hosts sailing events all summer long and celebrated the 35th Annual Newport Regatta this past July. Let’s not forget the world’s most famous outdoor running event, the Boston Marathon, which takes place each year on the streets of Boston, passing numerous historical landmarks along the way including the Old North Church and Freedom Trail. Throughout New England, facilities like the Mass Mutual Center in Springfield, Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford and Dunkin Donuts Center in Providence host thousands of basketball, gymnastics, dance, cheer and volleyball teams throughout the year in addition to hundreds of other sports and events. Hockey is the top dog of New England sports and is played on over 200 rinks throughout the region, including the incredible New England Sports Center in Marlborough, which boasts eight hockey rinks under one roof. Plus, with all that ice, we get a lot of love from the figure skating community as well.
