The 26.2 Foundation has finalized the location of the International Marathon Center and secured it with a 99-year lease, and we’re now undertaking the due diligence work on the 19-acre East Main Street parcel. We’d like you to join us for a preview of the Center, on March 2nd at Faith Community Church in Hopkinton.
As we set the IMC in motion, we knew that one of the most important elements in ensuring success and sustainability would be attracting a wide range of visitors. The challenge of such a center lies in designing a guest experience that will engage, educate, and entertain audiences of all ages.
To do so, the 26.2 Foundation worked with a leading, multidisciplinary design firm, HealyKohler, of Washington, D.C., to provide master planning and exhibit design guidance. We’re pleased to tell you that HealyKohler has brought to life a plan for a unique, compelling, and truly vibrant IMC guest experience. You – our friends and supporters, together with local and regional community leaders – are cordially invited to an advanced look at that vision.
Terry Healy, co-founder and design principal of the firm, will lead us through a presentation of the state-of-the-art, interactive exhibits. You will get a chance to see, first-hand, exactly how we plan to show that there is much more to a marathon than simply running 26.2 miles.
Join us for an exclusive preview:
March 2nd, 2022 l 4:30 pm
Faith Community Church
Hopkinton, MA
We expect that the presentation will take about an hour and include time for questions.
The IMC promises significant benefits to Hopkinton and the MetroWest Region and we sincerely hope you will join us on March 2nd to preview what visitors can expect.
Please RSVP to Meghan Dulac at mdono11@gmail.com by February 25th.
