In 2008, Hopkinton was the first US community to receive the flame. The Boston Marathon which starts in Hopkinton, is modeled after the original modern Olympic event that started in Marathon, Greece and finished in the Olympic stadium in Athens.
The Boston Marathon is the oldest continuously run marathon in the world.
The twin city relationship between Hopkinton and Marathon, Greece was officially established on April 17, 2006 and celebrated with the dedication of a sculpture honoring the 1946 winner Stylianos Kyriakides, located at the one-mile mark of the Boston Marathon course.
