Boston Marathon Monument

Boston Marathon Monument was installed in Copley Square, at the intersection of Dartmouth & Bolyston Streets, within one hundred feet of the marathon finish line in 1996 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Boston Marathon. A 7-foot large granite circle covers the brick pavement, inlaid with a map of the Boston Marathon route. The names of the winners of the last one hundred years are engraved around the perimeter of the circle. Surrounding the circle are four granite bollards, each adorned with a rectangular bronze relief plaque depicting Boston Marathon participants. The first plaque depicts two waiving figures representing the female and male winners. Above them are the words "BOSTON MARATHON." The second plaque shows a female running past bystanders. The third plaque shows a male runner being cheered on by bystanders. The fourth plaque shows a wheelchair competitor racing in a special three-wheeled wheelchair. The bollards are also adorned with bronze seals of the towns along the Boston Marathon route.
