Finish Line Structures
Women's Olympic Marathon Trials and BAA Boston Marathon

The photos below  compare the Finish Line structure for the U.S. Women's Olympic Marathon Trials to the Finish Line structure for the BAA Boston Marathon, held two days later on April 21, 2008. Organizers were not allowed to have any sponsor logos visible at the finish of the Trials race, so all references to Boston Marathon sponsor John Hancock had to be covered up.
