Briefly

Prior to the start of the 2025 Boston Marathon, a group of colonial militia reenactors marched down Boylston Street to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Revolutionary War. Highlighting this festive event, an actor portraying Paul Revere even rode horseback and proclaimed, 'The runners are coming!', paying tribute to Revere's famed ride. However, the reenactment encountered a humorous setback when the horse became startled by the large blue finish line decal, leading the actors to dismount and walk their horses across the finish together.
