This holiday remembers the first fights of the Revolutionary War, at Lexington and Concord. It has nothing to do with the New England Patriots. On April 17, Patriots’ Day, the 127th Boston Marathon will take place.
Boston is very proud of this day, which is still celebrated even after the redcoats came to America. Patriots’ Day is a way to honour the past of the area, even though it has become associated with an 11 a.m. first pitch at Fenway Park, blue-and-yellow Red Sox jerseys, a Mark Wahlberg movie, and a marathon.
Monday at 9 a.m., the practice continues in Hopkinton. As always, walkers will end near the Boston Public Library on Boylston Street. The 26.2-mile trek has stood the test of time and sorrow, which makes it a sign of strength and a source of happiness for everyone involved.
Evans Chebet (men’s open), Peres Jepchirchir (women’s open), Daniel Romanchuk (men’s wheelchair), Manuela Schar (women’s wheelchair), Alfredo Delossantos (men’s handcycles), Wendy Larsen (women’s handcycles), Michael Roeger (men’s para athletics), and Lisa Thompson (women’s para athletics) won in 2022.
