Official Award Sponsor of The Boston Marathon
Since 1985, Long’s Jewelers has served as an Official Sponsor of the Boston Marathon, providing individual trophies for the race winners each year.
“It is a wonderful honor to be a part of one of Boston’s most memorable annual events,” notes Craig Rottenberg, President of Long’s Jewelers. “Long’s is thrilled to provide over 100 Pairpoint Glassworks crystal trophies for the Awards Ceremony. We also take pride in offering our exclusive Boston Marathon jewelry, watch and giftware products which serve as mementos for Boston Marathon participants. It is a tradition we cherish each year.”
The awards for the runners are hand crafted one piece at a time at Pairpoint Glassworks in Massachusetts, recognized as the oldest glassworks in America. The awards are created with labor intensive skills that have been passed from generation to generation. Long’s also provides an assortment of collectibles in conjunction with America’s oldest Road Race. The Boston Marathon Collection* for 2011 includes gold and silver rings with the B.A.A. logo commemorating the Marathon, charms featured in 14k gold and sterling silver, and more. Long’s also has created earrings, cufflinks and more to help runners and spectators celebrate this great achievement.
