Founded
in
1887
and
celebrating
its
125th
anniversary
in
2012,
the
Boston
Athletic
Association
is
one
of
the
oldest
sports
organizations
in
America.
It’s
best
known
today
for
its
signature
annual
event,
the
Boston
Marathon,
which
is
the
third-largest
marathon
and
attracts
tens
of
thousands
of
participants
and
worldwide
media
coverage.
But
the
B.A.A.
has
also
been
amazingly
prescient
in
anticipating
what
would
become
one
of
the
major
social
trends
of
the
late
twentieth
and
early
twenty-first
centuries:
the
modern
fitness
movement.
Consider
some
of
the
B.A.A.’s
firsts:Still,
the
B.A.A.
story
is
not
simply
one
of
athletic
achievements
and
firsts.
It’s
also
the
dramatic
story
of
people
and
the
times
in
which
they
lived—a
social
history
that
unfolds
in
nineteenth-century
Boston
but
takes
readers
around
the
world,
up
to
the
present,
and
includes
a
large
and
international
cast
of
characters.
A
wonderfully
illustrated
history,The
B.A.A.
at
125
highlights
the
Boston
Athletic
Association’s
important
role
in
American
sports history.
