Distinguished Participation
In partnership with Always Advancing and sponsored by VA Runner, local running specialty store, the Distinguished Participant medal will be presented to runners who have participated events on four specific events, either in person or virtual, during 2020 including:
- Historic Half events (13.1, Semper 5ive or Devil Dog Double);
- Run Amuck, Belleau Wood 8K or Recon Ruck ;
- The Quantico Duathlon or Quantico 12K ;
- And the Turkey Trot 10K in November.
The Distinguished Participant medal, recognizing a year-long commitment to running with the Marines, is awarded to qualified runners after they finish the Turkey Trot in November.
Sequence
Run (5K) – Duathletes start a 5K run.
Bike (20.4K) – All athletes must put on their helmet and snap the strap before mounting their bike. The helmet must remain on and buckled until the athlete completes the bike route, dismounts and racks their bike. Not following the helmet rules may result in a disqualification (DQ). Follow the local bike lane regulations on your virtual course. It is important to use extreme caution in your neighborhood.
