A new Boston Marathon tradition is growing in Hopkinton. The Hopkinton Chamber of Commerce launched its Marathon banner program just a few years ago, but the participation by local businesses gets bigger all the time. The banners now fly from the starting line at the Common to well over a mile into the course.

The 26.2 Foundation is particularly grateful for this promotion, because each year the Chamber donates the proceeds to our International Marathon Center building fund. This year, that donation totaled $10,000, with a check presented to the Foundation at Start Line Brewing Company on October 6th. The Foundation extends its sincere thanks.
