News of the signing was met with enthusiasm, both from Hopkinton and the running community.
“The IMC will be a signature destination for runners the world over a truly international venue designed to draw both U.S. and overseas visitors, like the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York,” Hopkinton Town Manager Norman Khumalo said in a statement.
Four-time Boston winner Bill Rodgers put his support behind the project. It would be great if the IMC develops along the lines Tim (Kilduff) is hoping for, he said in an email to the Daily News. The BAA has a terrific collection of trophies and memorabilia related to the Boston Marathon and it would be great if the Public could see them.
The Town of Hopkinton has signed a 99-year lease with the nonprofit 26.2 Foundation for a 19-acre site on East Main Street, where the organization plans to build an International Marathon Center less than a mile from the Boston Marathon starting line.

According to the evidence released so far, the Middlesex County District Attorney has suggested Mikayla Miller might’ve taken her own life. But Mikayla’s family is still burning with questions, and they say they don’t trust what the police and DA are saying.

“We loved going to New Hampshire, I’m never going to be able to do that with her again,” said Mikayla’s mom, Calvina Strothers, trying to hold it together as she spoke in front of hundreds.
Letter: Hopkinton votes on fair redistricting

On May 1 the voters of Hopkinton will have the opportunity to join over 50 New Hampshire cities and towns by voting in favor of Article 11 on the Town Warrant, the N.H. Resolution for Fair Nonpartisan Redistricting. This article will ask the select board to inform the Redistricting Commission of the legislature that the Town of Hopkinton supports fair and open meetings and fair redistricting as the new maps are prepared for our congressional representatives, our executive council, our state senate and our state representatives after the 2020 Census.
The maps should not be drawn for any political party or candidate. Fair maps will uphold the principle of one person, one vote. Vote yes on Article 11 so we can add our voices to those of voters across New Hampshire requesting that this process be conducted fairly and openly.
