Hopkinton Today: Monday, April 18

by | Apr 18, 2022 | Featured: Features, Hopkinton Today

Good morning, Hopkinton! Welcome to the daily update we call Hopkinton Today — a quick recap of yesterday’s news, highlights of what’s on tap, and a photo and video of the day.

Jeff Doyle played football and lacrosse at Hopkinton High School prior to his graduation in 2009, but distance running is relatively new to him. Although he has watched the start of the Boston Marathon more than 20 times, this will be his first time running the course, and he’ll do so for a former classmate in whose memory the Live4Evan charity was created.

When Hopkinton’s Jeffrey Hopkins runs the grueling 26.2 miles into Boston, he’ll be thinking of his colleagues in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Milford Regional Medical Center, who have been running their own marathon for the past two years.

Nicole MacLennan, a Hopkinton resident of 15 years, will be running her first Boston Marathon Monday, raising funds for the Framingham-based nonprofit Dignity Matters.

There are 50 individuals from Hopkinton who registered to run today’s Boston Marathon, and we have the complete list.

Town meetings tonight include the Sustainable Green Committee Communications Workgroup (7:30).
