Medical Tents & Emergency Care
Boston EMS Captain Jose Archila (#328) crossed the finish line alongside Beth and Michael Bourgault at the 2014 Marathon Tribute run. Jose applied a tourniquet and wound care, as well as comfort, to Beth on April 15, 2013, and ultimately helped save her life. The two were reunited at a finish line photoshoot on April 8, 2014. Read their full story.
Signing the Streets
Joe is one of the sign shop employees who make and put up over 2,200 no-parking signs along the route. The team also helps rope off the route; puts up electronic message boards; and manages a fleet of 88 golf carts used by first responders like the Boston Police.

Photographing the Finish Line
Jeremiah is one of three photographers who travels around the city capturing photos of the Mayor making speeches, meeting students, and making friends. This will be his third time photographing the Boston Marathon - follow us on Instagram to see his photos from this year's finish line. |
Cleaning Up the Route
Public Works employees are first on the route and the last ones off, working non-stop to make streets and sidewalks clean and safe. They fill potholes, repair sidewalks, move trash bins, and loudly cheer on the last leg of runners as they sweep up cups and other trash from the route.

Here are some ideas for getting involved:
