QUANTICO, VA (March 17, 2016) - Runners across the globe are gearing up to
register for the 41st Marine Corps Marathon (MCM) as the lottery for this
year's event opens to the public at noon Eastern Thursday, March 24 at
www.marinemarathon.com. The MCM Lottery will be conducted over seven days,
through Wednesday, March 30, closing at noon Eastern.
Once the lottery closes, runners will be notified about their registration
status via email starting March 31. Runners will not be charged any fees
during the lottery until officially selected and registered for the 41st

MarathonFoto photo packages and tickets to the Carbo Dining In, the annual
carbo-loading buffet that will be held at the MCM's new headquarters hotel,
the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, located at the National
Harbor.
The Brooks apparel is made of extremely comfortable moisture-transferring
fabric with DriLayerR, a patented performance material that keeps the
wearer dry and fresh. There are two styles of MISSION FOCUS and WITH
PURPOSE T-shirts for purchase; a short sleeve and podium long sleeve, both
with a reflective MCM logo. Sizes range from XXS to XL. As depicted, the
colors are heather gray and navy blue.

unisex mesh training hat with reflective detail. The cap's technical fabric
transfers moisture away from the head while the adjustable strap allows a
customized fit.

create a personalized plan, whether taking part in their first MCM or
hoping to improve on their marathon finish time.
