Protocol note: in #BostonMarathon2024 , the pro athletes have name bibs. Most have family names ("Lemma", "Geay", "Lokedi", "Teshome") but if you're a former Boston winner, you get your given name on the bib ("Evans", "Hellen", "Edna", "Caroline", or just "Des"). Win in Boston, and you're on a first-name basis with the whole region.
