This whimsical design plays on local symbolism and music. The title of the classic childhood lap song “Trot Trot to Boston” is altered into “Trot Trot from Hopkinton”; and the horse is replaced by the BAA’s and Boston Marathon’s symbol of a yellow unicorn. The unicorn, with its mane “flying,” wears sneakers on its hooves and is posed at the start line of the marathon in Hopkinton Center. The lower part of the design is a nod to the beauty of Hopkinton: bucolic nature and a classic New England town common. Scattered around are balloons, music notes, and stars depicting the festivity and magic of the Boston Marathon event. There is nostalgia in the design: for those who have experienced the marathon in the past, will this year, or may in the future. The marathon is timeless.
