On Monday, the Boston Marathon starting line in Hopkinton — usually busy with thousands of runners set to begin the 26.2-mile trek to Boston — was empty. Marathon officials marked the moment by sending out a special message to essential workers, acknowledging their efforts.
“To the doctors, nurses, pharmacists, dentists, medical personnel,” read the post, which goes on to list 13 industries deemed essential under Gov. Charlie Baker’s stay-at-home advisory. “We’ll wait to start until you reach the finish.”
