Driven To Finish

Kirkwood would like to congratulate all runners of the 2026 Boston Marathon.

The finish line on Boylston Street represents more than a race—it’s a moment of achievement, resilience, and celebration. Where tears fall, hearts race, and history is made. 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.

Some run for established charities, others to honor lost loved ones. But they all have one thing in common, and that’s a drive to finish, and cross that iconic blue and yellow line and etch their names in history as an official Boston Marathon Finisher.

From the last place finisher deep into the night, to all the winners, and all the rest who were Driven to Finish, we congratulate you and your guts and tenacity to cross the line.

As a New England business, being trusted with the finish line means the world to us. We’re inspired by the runners—and grateful to play a part in making their big moment unforgettable.
