Below is a press release from Wilmington-based Kirkwood Printing:
WILMINGTON, MA — 2026 marked the 130th running of the Boston Marathon. Kirkwood, once again, is proud to have produced the iconic finish line graphics seen by over 30,000 runners at the end of their 26.2-mile journey. From qualifiers and elite athletes to charity runners and para-athletes, each of them has a moment of glory as they cross that bold, unmistakable line—crafted with care right here in our shop.
The finish line on Boylston Street represents more than a race—it’s a moment of achievement, resilience, and celebration. We’re proud that our work helps frame that moment for athletes, spectators, volunteers, and viewers around the world.
As a New England business, being trusted with the finish line means the world to us. It’s where tears fall, hearts race, and history is made. We’re inspired by the runners—and grateful to play a part in making their big moment unforgettable.
