The Marine Corps Marathon (MCM) builds for sponsor partners an integrated marketing program earning exposure and visibility with 30,000 affluent, active and educated participants of all ages and athletic abilities from every state and more than 50 countries.

Ranked as the fourth largest US marathon and the seventh largest in the world, the MCM offers no prize money and therefore attracts a very different runner base than other large marathons. No elite athletes participate in "The People's Marathon", rather it is a dedicated, goal-oriented group comprised of significant numbers of first-time marathoners, who relish the experience of participation and thrill in the glory of accomplishment.

MCM offers sponsor partners the opportunity to capitalize on the race's impeccable image and gain exposure against a backdrop of the nation's most recognizable landmarks and monuments in the nation's capital and Arlington, Virginia. Levels of sponsorship include sampling opportunities, expo presence, Healthy Kids Fun Run, MCM 10K, VIP hospitality, signage, finish line activation, interactive and online branding and logo opportunities.

Only through the support of fine sponsor partners can the Marine Corps continue to host and grow this world class event. For more sponsorship information, please contact the MCM Sponsorship/Marketing Manager at 703-784-2113 or marc.goldman@usmc.mil.

Neither Federal nor Marine Corps endorsement of sponsors is implied.
