Athletics: Want to set a World Record for holiday shopping?

On Jan. 28th, the 11th annual Reebok Boston Indoor Games will bring many of the world's best Olympic track-and-field athletes to your doorstep. Tirunesh Dibaba, the double World Champion who last year smashed the 5000m World Record here, has already said she'll be back, and a top field for the men's 2-mile will be announced within days. We know that you're a track fan, but wouldn't this be the perfect time to introduce someone else to the sport?

As our holiday gift to you and that soon-to-be fan, we are offering a $5 discount to our newsletter subscribers on tickets purchased between now and Dec. 31 — hey, call it a New Year's present if you want. To get the discount, though, you must use promotional code HOLIDAY when ordering at either www.BostonIndoorGames.com or toll-free at 1-866-GO-BIG06.

The 2006 Reebok Boston Indoor Games is set for Jan. 28 from 5:30-8 p.m. at the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center, 1350 Tremont St., Boston. Over the past decade, the event has been the site of four World Records and eight American Records as it has become a fixture on the Boston sports calendar. For the past three years, the event has sold out.

Happy holidays, and hope to see you there!
