Boston, May, We Will Finish the Race

Photographed by Mitch Feinberg

"After the marathon bombings, we wanted to be the magazine the city deserved and needed at that moment. The marathon was just four days before our ship date, but we scratched our cover and main feature and threw ourselves into honoring the runners and victims as best we could. The cover image is made up completely of shoes that ran this year’s marathon, and we were proud to tell their stories. We were even more proud that the sale of our May cover posters raised over $120,000 for the One Fund."

I love this picture. The fact that the magazine changed their entire cover because they wanted to respect the people who had been in the race when it was horribly interrupted, is amazing. The fact that they were running the marathon in the first place take so much time and effort. People train for months, many times years to be ready for the marathon. And for it to be interrupted the way it was is horrible. But I absolutely love the way the magazine interpreted the race and the way they made it look so amazing on the cover.
