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.

Bobbi Gibb is the first woman to run the entire Boston Marathon and she is recognized as a three-time winner in the Pioneer Women’s Division in 1966, 1967 and 1968. She also is a lifelong artist, and the two passions met when a sculpture, her self-portrait, was unveiled Tuesday night at the Hopkinton Center for the Arts. The sculpture will be displayed at the HCA until the completion of the Main Street Corridor Project, at which time it will be installed at the corner of Main Street and Hayden Rowe Street.

Principal Alan Keller has been running Hopkinton Middle School for the past 12 years. Now he is running — literally — in the Boston Marathon to support his school’s Desire to Inspire program.

The return of the Boston Marathon means the return of volunteers who have helped staff the annual event. After missing the past two spring events, they are eager to get back to work.

Dick Hoyt voiced optimism prior to the last Boston Marathon in 2019 that he might return to pushing his quadriplegic son, Rick, in the race that helped build the legacy of Team Hoyt. Tragically, Dick Hoyt did not live to see another Boston.

The latest edition of the Police Log includes two arrests along with reports of loose dogs, chickens messing up a neighbor’s yard, and an 11-year-old runaway.

Town meetings tonight include the School Committee (7) and Open Space Preservation Committee (7).
