    Boston Marathon

    Principal sponsor for 38 years 

    A John Hancock runner crossing the finish line at the 125th Boston Marathon

    It's the oldest, toughest and most iconic race in the world, drawing a million spectators and spurring millions in charitable donations annually. The Boston Marathon has always been a collective celebration of persistence and resilience, and we're honored to have been its principal sponsor for 38 years. Although our sponsorship will come to an end at the conclusion of the 2023 race, we intend to make our final race as principal sponsor a special one.

    38 yrs

    We are honored to have served as a steward for this historic race for 38 years and thank the B.A.A. for their continued partnership. The Boston Marathon continues to be a point of pride for both John Hancock and the City of Boston and we look forward to cheering the B.A.A. and all the runners on from the sidelines in 2024 and beyond.
