Bank of America has served as title sponsor of the race since 2015, and its logo appears alongside the unicorn on official event merchandise. The Boston Marathon Expo, held at the Hynes Convention Center in the days before the race, is where registered runners pick up their bibs and can browse licensed gear from the Boston Athletic Association and its partners.

The Abbott World Marathon Majors series links six of the world's oldest and largest marathons: Tokyo, Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago, and New York City. Boston, first run in 1897, is the oldest annual marathon in the world and the final "star" some runners chase to complete the series. Runners who finish all six races within their lifetime qualify for the Six Star Medal, a distinction Abbott began tracking formally when it took over series sponsorship in 2015. This cheer card, handed out at the marathon's official expo, is designed for runners' families and friends to display along the course route.

Marathon Petroleum's St. Paul Park refinery sits along the Mississippi River southeast of downtown St. Paul. Built in 1939, the plant processes roughly 90,000 barrels of crude oil per day into gasoline, diesel, and asphalt products for the regional market. It's one of only two refineries operating in Minnesota, the other being Flint Hills Resources in Rosemount. Marathon Petroleum acquired the facility in 2010 as part of its purchase of the Minnesota refining business from Marathon Oil's corporate predecessor.
