Social Media

In today's Facebook-driven world where what you do is only as important as the immediate feedback your actions elicit from your friends, the MCM and Nissan offer new tools to meet the demands of the doers and the posters. Spectators and runners can register these tracking services through the MCM website at www.marinemarathon.com beginning in early October.

 
For the runner -- Runner Broadcast Service Presented by Nissan
Runners may announce their progress every 10K of the marathon course by automatically posting timing updates on their Facebook timeline or over their Twitter feed. By broadcasting split times, runners will be able to effectively inform every friend or follower of their triumphant trek through the nation's capital.

For the supporter -- Track a Runner Presented by Nissan
Relatives, friends and running buddies will all be able to follow a runner's progress along the MCM course in real time. The virtual support crew can sign up to receive updates for one or multiple runners from the 10K, 20K, 30K, 40K and finish-line split locations. The timing data will be delivered by text, sent via email, posted on personal Facebook pages and/or sent over Twitter feed.

Social media messaging services are presented by Nissan and supported by DSW, Jiffy Lube, Arlington, Boeing and Rosslyn.

         

Whether running or supporting, everyone is encouraged to Tweet during the MCM Weekend using #38thMCM.
