A Pool Company’s Idea of Marathon Monday
Today, April 15th, will mark the 123rd annual Boston Marathon. Runners will encounter a rainy Boston Marathon route this year that features a 26.2 mile journey to the finish line. If you’re interested in following along with today’s action, the Boston Athletic Association has an official app for you.
The race begins in Hopkinton and ends in the heart of Boston. For SSG, this is a route of familiarity. Our service crews navigate most of the famous Boston Marathon route every day while traveling to clean, maintain and enhance swimming pools across New England.
To show our support of today’s event, we had some fun integrating our recent builds in the area with the long trek. Please note, this is not a full list of our pools in this area, but merely a spotlight of pools built in the past 5 years. You’ll start to notice that if our customers happen to have Patriot’s Day off from work, they may have a front row seat to the race. Unfortunately, we don’t expect any runners to be taking a pit stop to go for a swim – but stranger things have happened.
