Road to TrackTown: Heather MacLean

In Episode 4 of Road to TrackTown Season 3, Olympian Heather MacLean gives us a behind-the-scenes look at this year’s indoor season, kicking off with the New Balance Grand Prix in Boston — where she trains year-round with Team New Balance Boston.

Heather opens up about her story, from a challenging childhood to her rise at UMass, all while facing adversity on and off the track. After pushing through an injury during the 2024 season, she’s returned with a fire that’s already fueling an impressive 2025 season.

 

“Road to TrackTown” provides an all-access look at athletes’ journeys on and off the track throughout 2025 and culminating at the USATF Outdoor Championships. Presented by Lexus, Season 3 features an all-woman cast on the road to the national championships in TrackTown U.S.A.
