From YouTube: 2019 Boston Marathon Banner Unveiling
Description
At the Boston Marathon finish line on Boylston St., Mayor Walsh joins defending women's champion Des Linden and four-time men's champion Bill Rodgers, to unveil the 2019 Boston Marathon street banners.
For the first time, the Marathon will be held on One Boston Day. Every year, Bostonians honor the victims of the April 15th, 2013 Marathon bombings with random acts of kindness for their neighbors on this day. Visit onebostonday.org to get involved in your community on Marathon Monday.

These
banners
are
inspired
by
the
finish
line
and
the
city
that
brings
us
together
each
Patriots
day.
Boston
is
the
marathon
that
needs
no
introduction,
but
deserves
one.
Nonetheless,
it's
the
oldest,
it's
the
toughest
it's
the
most
iconic,
it's
a
proving
ground
for
world-class
elites
and
weekend
warriors
alike.
Our
race
is
a
dynamic
sporting
and
community
event
of
determination
and
grit.
That
draws
a
million
spectators
and
tens
of
millions
of
charitable
donations.
Year
after
year.
A
A
A
Won
the
Boston
and
New
York
City
marathons
four
times
each
desin
bill
represent
what
the
marathon
means
to
all
of
us,
their
determination
in
perseverance,
their
ability
to
bring
out
the
best
in
themselves
their
inclusiveness
to
share
their
journey,
reflects
the
same
attributes,
attributes
of
hundreds
of
thousands
of
people,
the
runners,
spectators,
volunteers,
charities,
media
races,
city
and
public
safety.
Officials
who
ensure
this
race
is
always
exceptional.
A
Now,
importantly,
for
the
first
time,
this
year's
marathon
falls
on
April
15th,
the
sixth
anniversary
of
the
2013
race
day
tragedy.
We
remember
the
hundreds
of
people
who
were
profoundly
affected,
the
people
who
lost
their
lives
and
we
honor
them.
We
recognized
the
resilience
and
resolution
of
the
survivor
community
and
thank
them
for
continuing
every
day
to
inspire.
All
of
us
now,
I
have
the
honor
of
introducing
our
exceptional
mayor
during
Mayor
Walsh's
January
State
of
the
City
address.
A
He
encouraged
national
leaders
to
look
to
Boston
as
an
example
of
a
city
whose
people
depend
on
each
other
to
build
not
only
a
better
place
to
live
but
a
better
world,
and
this
is
what
the
mayor
said.
If
you
want
to
learn
how
to
bring
people
together,
not
push
them
apart,
look
to
Boston,
look
to
the
City
of
Hope
and
heart,
look
to
the
city
of
courage
and
champions
at
a
time
when
cities
must
lead
look
to
Boston
the
leader
of
cities.
B
B
Every
time,
I
meet
bill,
I,
think
of
being
a
little
younger
and
watching
him
cross
the
finish
line
as
part
of
this
race
to
DES,
Lyndon,
congratulations
and
I
know
last
year
was
tough,
but
it
was
probably,
as
I
talked
to
the
runners.
Some
people
enjoyed
the
race
because
of
the
weather
and
other
people
didn't
and
I
want
to
congratulate
you
on
the
incredible
race.
We
look
forward
to
this
year's
race
in
our
city.
It's
the
official
start
of
marathon
season.
B
I
was
saying
as
I
walked
in
I
it's
just
it's
so
fast
from
Yetta
Yetta,
yeah
I
was
talking
to
EJ
cups,
I
think
he
said
this
is
48th
marathon.
These
doing
this
is
my
sixth
as
mayor
of
the
city.
When
you
think
about
how
quick
the
time
goes
by
and
no
day
is
the
same,
usually
when
we
do
this
unveiling
of
the
of
the
banner,
it's
always
a
sunny
bright
day
and
then
we
kind
of
watch
the
weather
forecast
for
what's
gonna
happen
on
marathon
day.
So
hopefully
it's
a
nice
day.
B
We
don't
want
much
Sun.
We
want
kind
of
clouds
a
little
overcast
a
little
breeze,
but
that's
what
we
want
right
for
running.
So
we're
gonna
request
that
right
now
anyone
listen
and
help
us
out,
but
but
over
the
next
month
we're
gonna
be
welcoming
athletes
from
all
over
the
world.
That's
going
to
transform
our
city
into
the
biggest
stage.
The
marathon
represents
everything
that
we
stand
for
here
in
Boston.
It's
about
great!
It's
about
heart!
It's
about
resilience!
It's
about
hope
for
most
people
who
cross
the
finish
line.
Their
journey
doesn't
start
in
Hopkinton.
B
B
It
started
hundreds
and
thousands
of
miles
ago
for
people
who
never
thought
I've
met,
so
many
people
that
when
they
talk
about
running
the
marathon,
they
never
thought
about
running
a
Boston
Marathon.
They
just
were
a
runner
that
ran
around
Castle
Island
or
ran
through
the
streets
of
Roxbury
and
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
they're
on
the
world
stage
and
I
want
to
congratulate
all
of
you.
This
is
more
than
a
race.
B
It's
a
celebration
of
human
spirit,
that's
true
whether
you're
a
runner,
whether
you're
a
wheelchair
athlete,
whether
you're
a
volunteer
and
I,
want
to
thank
the
volunteers
who
do
that,
who
lined
the
parade
who
ride
the
marathon
route
and
help
with
everything
that
they
do,
or
whether
you're
a
fan,
somebody's
gonna
come
and
watch
the
marathon
for
123
years.
The
marathon
has
brought
our
city
together
like
nothing
else
recently.
It
has
stood
for
something
even
bigger,
as
Tom
mentioned,
on
Marathon
Monday
2013,
it
was
unthinkable.
It
was
one
of
our
darkest
days
it
also.
B
B
It's
a
day
of
service,
reflection
and
healing
in
our
city
we
honor
the
fallen
with
acts
of
kindness,
big
and
small,
and
it's
a
day
that
Boston
shines
as
brightest
and
not
just
Boston
that
that
brightness
is
gone
throughout
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts
and
all
across
our
country.
This
is
the
first
time
as
Tom
mentioned,
that
the
marathon
one
Boston
day
in
the
marathon
fall
on
the
same
day.
B
It
will
be
a
citywide
Day
of
Service
and
I'm,
asking
everyone
to
do
something
good
for
your
community
or
on
Monday,
though
all
the
weekend
leading
up
to
it
be
kind
to
somebody.
Let's
remember
what
happened
that
day
and
take
that
horrible
incident
that
happened
and
turn
into
something
very
positive
for
someone
else.
B
Today,
we're
asking
you
to
go
to
one
Boston
day
org
and
tell
us
what
you
will
do
that
day
and
on
the
day
of
the
marathon
the
day,
the
marathon
in
one
Boston
day,
we're
asking
you
to
share
your
experiences
and
what
you
were
able
to
do.
We
also
remember
those
who
we
lost
with
permanent
markers
on
Boylston
Street,
as
you
can
see
we're
working
on
them.
Now
we
have
worked
closely
with
the
families
to
honor
their
loved
ones
in
a
meaningful
way.
They
will
reflect
our
city
spirit
after
the
tragedy
bent,
but
not
broken.
B
We're
gonna
unveil
them
this
summer,
so
we're
gonna
continue
as
you
think,
I.
Don't
think
this
box
will
be
there
on
Marathon
Monday,
we'll
get
it
out
of
there
go
else.
Tom
Gregg
will
be
yelling
at
me
on
the
cross
in
the
street
of
the
stands,
but
we
are
asking
people
to
you
know
as
we
as
we
as
we
unveil,
the
the
the
the
the
the
memorial
here
on
Boylston
Street
will
be
able
to
we're
gonna
do
it
later
in
the
summer,
2013
shook
our
entire
city
and
everyone
was
affected.
B
That's
why
we're
also
looking
ways
to
memorialize
Boston
as
a
collective
resilience.
We're
gonna
hold
a
citywide
dialogue
with
selected
consultants
to
help
guide
the
conversation
about
a
memorial
or
some
type
of
remembrance,
not
bigger
than
the
two
markers
but
including
the
two
markers,
and
we
hope
that
everyone
will
be
participating
in
that
conversation,
the
mosque,
the
Boston
Marathon,
has
brought
our
city
together
for
generations
on
April
15.
B
A
Thank
You
mayor
Walsh,
thank
you
for
being
here,
as
always
here
and
everywhere.
He
seems
to
be
everywhere
every
day
throughout
the
city,
and
we
appreciate
that
leadership
now
comes
the
fun
part.
That
concludes
the
formal
remarks,
but
if
you
could
direct
your
attention
to
DES
and
bill
as
they
unveil
the
2019
Boston
Marathon
banners
bill
and
des.
