The Boston Marathon finish line is ready to go
Monday awaits.
One of the annual traditions in the buildup to the Boston Marathon is the installment of the finish line. It’s a ritual that evokes excitement in the days before the event.
On Thursday, race organizers set up the 2017 finish line on Boylston Street. The 121st running of the world’s oldest annual marathon is now one step closer to being fully prepared:
