Transfer / Defer

TRANSFER
"The People's Marathon" is structured to best assist runners successfully navigate registration to training and start to finish.  In promoting physical fitness and generating community goodwill, the MCM seeks to ensure the greatest number of properly trained athletes are on the start line during the final Sunday in October.  To that end, the MCM has two unique programs, distinguishing its commitment to the runners from other similar events.

After registering for the MCM, some runners ultimately decide they are unable to participate in a marathon.  These runners may opt to transfer their entry to a non-registered runner through the event's unique Transfer Program.

"This special program offers these runners the opportunity to share their coveted spot with another runner who missed out on our swift registration process," says Rick Nealis, MCM Race Director.

THE MCM TRANSFER PROGRAM IS CURRENTLY CLOSED.

DEFERMENT

 

 

"Things happen-injuries, business trips, and unforeseeable conflicts and the deferment and transfer policies allow runners to delay a year or give someone else the chance to run in their place," says Nealis. "The goal is to enable as many runners as possible the opportunity to be a part of the Marine Corps Marathon."

THE MCM DEFERMENT PROGRAM IS CURRENTLY CLOSED.
