32nd Marine Corps Marathon

[CommunityEditor]

Register... train... run! Weather permitting, it's time to get outdoors with your training. From the article --

Open registration begins May 9 and spots usually fill up fast. Fortunately, active-duty and reserve military members get first dibs on a space at the starting line for the 32nd running of “the people’s marathon” Oct. 28 in Washington, D.C.

This year, the online entry fee has been reduced to $80, marathon officials announced March 27, a 10 percent decrease from the 2006 price. Registration includes all race materials, a free subscription to the marathon’s virtual training program, a $10 discount on a marathon pasta mess tent ticket, bib, T-shirt and single-use souvenir commemorative timing chip.

Troops can visit the Marine Corps Marathon’s official Web site to download an early entry form. That form, along with a photocopy of your military ID card and the $75 entry fee, must be sent to the Marine Corps Marathon office.

Entries may be mailed to: Marine Corps Marathon, Attn: Military Registration, P.O. Box 188, Quantico, VA 22134. You also can fax your entry to (703) 784-2265. Fax entries must be received by April 30; mailed entries must be postmarked by that date.

Those who register will receive e-mail confirmation of receipt and registration status. Runners should make note of the confirmation number in that e-mail; the number is used to obtain the “confirmation e-card” online required for race packet pick-up. This year, packet pick-up is scheduled for Oct. 25-27 at the D.C. Armory.
