Poster celebrates 50th anniversary of Boston Marathon’s wheelchair division

The Hopkinton Chamber of Commerce will be offering a unique way to commemorate the Boston Marathon this year.

For the first time, the chamber is making its pole banner design available as commemorative posters for members of the general public to purchase. The posters come in two sizes and are available on the Chamber of Commerce website.

“Whether you’re a marathon enthusiast, a supporter of the wheelchair division, or simply a fan of Hopkinton’s deep connection to the race, this is your chance to bring home a piece of the tradition,” a press release from the chamber states.

This year’s design honors the 50th anniversary of the wheelchair division. The Boston Marathon became the first major marathon to include a wheelchair division after Bob Hall completed the race in 1975, according to the Boston Athletic Association.

Chamber of Commerce president Brooks Farrar commented in the press release that the goal of releasing the design as a poster was to allow the Hopkinton community at large to participate in the pole banner tradition.

“Hopkinton is where it all starts, and we’re excited to offer a keepsake that allows everyone to celebrate the town’s role in marathon history,” Farrar stated.
