      <image:title>Team Inspire</image:title>
      <image:caption>Team Inspire is our team of dedicated and passionate runners who exhibit the power of the human spirit through the sport of the marathon. Members of Team Inspire receive entry to a world class marathon and fundraise to further the mission of the 26.2 Foundation. They receive training and fundraising support, team gear and a race day singlet, and more. Boston Marathon® presented by Bank of America The 26.2 Foundation has been a proud recipient of B.A.A. invitational entries since 1996, and the charitable donations raised by team members have been instrumental to our projects and programs. We are deeply grateful for our runners’ engagement and support, inspired by their accomplishments and generosity, and impressed by their diversity and reach. In 2025, our team members that participated in the Boston Marathon hailed from Canada, Guatemala, Indonesia, Thailand, Qatar, United Kingdon, and eight US states. Six of our Team members earned their Abbott World Marathon Majors sixth star and together, the Team raised over $250,000. Our application is now closed for 2026 Boston Marathon®, presented by Bank of America. If you have any questions, please contact kim.chisholm@26-2.org.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>High school students in Hopkinton and Ashland, Massachusetts are helping to curate a new section of their town libraries entirely dedicated to marathoning. Under the guidance of the 26.2 Foundation, students are researching books about marathons, contacting authors, and helping to secure and track the books as they come in. We celebrate these important additions to the Ashland and Hopkinton libraries, and encourage authors with books about marathoning to contact us if they’d like to donate them.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Overview - The International Marathon Center™</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our signature project is the development of the International Marathon Center in Hopkinton, MA – designed to honor, celebrate and inspire the sport of marathoning. Our plans call for a state-of-the-art education and conference facility, a marathon museum, and a hall of fame. As a destination designed to engage multi-generational visitors intellectually, emotionally and physically, it will feature compelling programs on history, democracy, civics, fitness, nutrition, health and human potential. Funded by individual and corporate philanthropy, the IMC will be located on the Boston Marathon race course, less than a mile from the starting line. Watch a short video below highlighting the Visitor Experience.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Spirit of the Marathon - Spirit of the Marathon Stylianos Kyriakides</image:title>
      <image:caption>‘Spirit of the Marathon’ is a 12-foot-tall statue that stands at the 1-mile mark of the Boston Marathon route. Commissioned by New Balance, coordinated by the Hopkinton Athletic Association (the former name of the 26.2 Foundation), sculpted by Mico Kaufman, and unveiled in 2006, ‘Spirit’ depicts Greek marathoner Stylianos Kyriakides, who represents one of the Boston Marathon’s greatest underdog stories. Kyriakides won the 50th Boston Marathon in 1946 against all odds, having survived the horrors and deprivations of the Axis occupation of WWII Greece. He then turned his achievement into an opportunity to highlight the plight of his nation, which was still starving and rebuilding from the war. He returned home to a hero’s welcome with boatloads of food, medicine, clothing and other essentials donated by the American people. As a result of those efforts, he is considered by many to be the first Boston Marathon ‘charity’ runner. Flanking him in the sculpture is a fellow Greek, Spyridon Louis, winner of the first modern Olympic marathon, held in Athens Greece in 1896, showing Kyriakides the way forward. A twin version of the statue stands in Marathon, Greece, Hopkinton’s sister city.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Starter</image:title>
      <image:caption>George V. Brown was a Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) stalwart and the legendary starter of the Boston Marathon from 1905 to 1937. ‘The Starter’, a bronze sculpture now standing on Hopkinton Common at the Marathon starting line, recognizes and honors his role in the race and his influence on athletics both locally and internationally. A lifetime resident of Hopkinton, Brown began his career in 1899 as an athletics instructor at Harvard. He began working for the B.A.A. in 1900, and managed the B.A.A. Games from 1905 to 1921. In addition to his role as the Boston Marathon starter, Brown managed the U.S. Olympic teams for Stockholm in 1912, Antwerp in 1920, Paris in 1925 and Amsterdam in 1928. He played a pivotal role in the development of hockey in the U.S., served as the manager and director of the New Boston Arena (later known as Boston Garden), and directed athletics at Boston University from 1918 to 1925. For his contributions to the sport, he was inducted into both the United States Hockey Hall of Fame and the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. A member of his family has started the race each year since his death in 1937, a tradition that continues today. Commissioned by the 26.2 Foundation through a state grant and sculpted by local artist Michael Alfano, ‘The Starter’ was unveiled in 2008.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Yes You Can - ‘Yes, you can!’ Dick and Rick Hoyt</image:title>
      <image:caption>In 1977, after Rick Hoyt, a quadriplegic with cerebral palsy, asked his dad to push him in a local 5-mile race to benefit a paralyzed classmate, he told his father – through the aid of a computer – “Dad, when we were running, it felt like I wasn’t disabled anymore.” Dick Hoyt subsequently pushed his son through 32 Boston Marathons and numerous other endurance events, including no fewer than four Ironman Triathlons in Hawaii. In 1989 they founded the Hoyt Foundation to help children with disabilities participate in sports, and Dick traveled the world raising awareness about disability inclusion. Team Hoyt became a Boston Marathon icon and a global marathon legend. To recognize their achievements and contributions to marathoning and inclusion, John Hancock Financial commissioned artist Mike Tabor to create the life-sized sculpture, entitled ‘Yes, you can!’. The statue was completed in early 2013 and gifted by John Hancock to the town of Hopkinton, where it is installed on the front lawn of Hopkinton’s Center School. The 26.2 Foundation was instrumental in securing the location of the statue, which sits literally yards from the Boston Marathon starting line.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Girl Who Ran</image:title>
      <image:caption>It was Gibb who, in 1966, popped out from behind forsythia bushes in Hopkinton to become the first woman to run Boston. “As the first woman to finish the Boston Marathon, Bobbi Gibb opened up the door for all of us who followed,” noted Samuelson, a two-time Boston champ and winner of the first Olympic Marathon for women in 1984. “Without her courage and determination, we might never have gained the chance.” Not only is the sculpture of Gibb, it is also by Gibb. She is an accomplished painter and sculptor who studied at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts in the mid-1960s - the same year that she began running longer distances.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Bobbi Gibb Marathon Sculpture Project was coordinated by the 26.2 Foundation, which has helped install other marathon statues in and around Hopkinton – all statues of male officials or runners. “We believed it long past time to recognize the Boston Marathon’s great women runners,” says Tim Kilduff of the 26.2 Foundation. “The fact that Boston’s first woman runner is also a great sculptor made this project absolutely unique and appropriate.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Girl Who Ran</image:title>
      <image:caption>Several years in the making, and drawing on the support from more than 400 individuals and organizations, the sculpture – entitled ‘The Girl Who Ran,’ in honor of Bobbi’s children’s book about running – was unveiled to the public at the Hopkinton Center for the Arts in October of 2021. It will be installed in Hopkinton near the Boston Marathon starting line once Hopkinton’s downtown corridor project is completed.</image:caption>
