130TH BOSTON MARATHON WILL BE HELD ON MONDAY, APRIL 20, 2026

The Hopkinton Marathon Committee (HMC) was established in 1979 to work in collaboration
with the Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.), to ensure the annual running of the Boston
Marathon is a safe and exciting event for all concerned. The committee’s mission is to guide
and help coordinate all B.A.A. efforts within Hopkinton, while protecting the interest of the town.
Members are known as the stewards of the start who help coordinate race logistics and
expenses related to Hopkinton. The committee is comprised of citizen volunteers appointed by
the Select Board, many of whom are B.A.A. Start Team Captains and representatives from the
Police Department, Fire Department, Department of Public Works, Hopkinton Schools &
Facilities, and Parks & Recreation Commission.
