TrailblazHers running group sues BAA and Newton Police, alleging racial discrimination during 2023 Boston Marathon.

A predominantly Black running group, TrailblazHers, has filed a lawsuit against the Boston Athletic Association (BAA) and the Newton Police Department, accusing them of racial discrimination during the 2023 Boston Marathon. The group claims that police officers targeted and harassed them while they were cheering on runners at mile 21 of the marathon route, with lawyers for the group stating that they want to prevent further discrimination and "seeks redress for emotional distress and trauma caused by last year's racial profiling incident".
