finish lines
Where marathons end
Finish lines are the marked boundaries that signal the end of a race.
Runners, swimmers, and cyclists cross the finish line to complete their event.
The term extends to any endpoint or final goal: We're almost at the finish line with this project.
The singular form is more common.
