The Boston Athletic Association's unicorn emblem, dating to the 1980s, appears on these embroidered patches alongside Bank of America's logo, the marathon's title sponsor since 2015. The Boston Marathon, first run in 1897, is the world's oldest annual marathon and one of the six Abbott World Marathon Majors. Runners collect credentials and merchandise like these patches at the marathon's expo in the days before the race, typically held at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston's Back Bay.

The unicorn has been the Boston Marathon's official symbol since 1995, representing the mythical stamina needed to complete the 26.2-mile course from Hopkinton to Boylston Street. 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.
