MCM Event Series

New distances, imposing challenges, glorious finish lines await just one thing ... your commitment to participate in the 2013 MCM Event Series.  Held aboard or adjacent to Marine Corps Base Quantico, the Series celebrates the accomplishment of distance running by wrapping each event in a unique experience that showcases the organizational excellence of the United States Marine Corps.  In 2013, the MCM Event Series reintroduces the 17.75K distance, welcomes back the National Museum of the Marine Corps finish line and unveils a brand new triathlon.  Add those experiences to the wildly popular Run Amuck and the classic Turkey Trot for a full calendar of excitement and success.

Whether running a 11.03 miles to secure a guaranteed entry to the Marine Corps Marathon in March, sloshing through mud pits, or taming the triple-tiered challenge of the triathlon,  the MCM Event Series offers runners of all abilities a destination run, conveniently accessible in Northern Virginia.  Experience the grandeur of a MCM-organized event in a low pressure setting complete with the massive red arches, dancing bulldog mascots, supportive sponsors, motivating music and exceptional Marine support.

Runners are encouraged to push for a PR, aspire for an age award, focus on family fitness or run for fun. The MCM Event Series welcome Marines, local participants, runners from afar and new comers to running challenges hosted from March through November 2013.
