FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MCM to Host Running Clinics with Olympian Jeff Galloway in Early June
Hall of Famer and trainer to offer running and injury prevention tips at
venues in Washington, DC and Virginia
QUANTICO, VA (May 25, 2016) - There's perhaps no better source for running
tips than Olympian Jeff Galloway. His renowned Run-Walk-Run training method
has opened the door to runners of all abilities, enabling them to
successfully complete long distance events, including the Marine Corps
Marathon (MCM).
The public is invited to join the MCM as it hosts Galloway, a member of the
MCM Hall of Fame, in two running clinics available free of charge on June 1
and 2 in Washington, D.C. and Quantico, VA.
The first Galloway clinic begins at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, June 1 at the
United States Navy Memorial, located at 701 Pennsylvania Avenue in
Northwest D.C. The Navy Memorial can easily be accessed by Metro via the
Archives/Navy Memorial/Penn Quarter station.
A second session featuring Galloway will be hosted the following day,
Thursday, June 2, at 11 a.m. This clinic will be held at Breckinridge Hall
at 2076 South Street on the Marine Corps University campus at Marine Corps
Base Quantico, VA.
During both clinics, Galloway will provide tips for running and training
for a variety of distances, while also discussing injury prevention
techniques for a successful finish of the 41st MCM and MCM10K to be held
this October in Arlington, VA and the nation's capital.
Galloway's Run-Walk-Run is well regarded throughout the running industry as
his innovative training methods include all types of athletes -- from the
competitor to the first-time marathoner. Also an inspirational speaker,
Galloway is open to his audience through running presentations and on
social media.
A 13-time MCM finisher, Galloway was inducted last October into the MCM
Hall of Fame during the 40th celebration of "The People's Marathon."
About the MCM: The Marine Corps Marathon (MCM) is voted "Best Marathon in
the Mid Atlantic," "Best Marathon for Charities" and the "Best Spectator
Event." The MCM honors the dedication, sportsmanship and patriotism of its

life participate in the MCM, the largest marathon not to offer prize money.
The 41st MCM, sponsored by Arlington County, Brooks, Hyundai and Navy
Federal Credit Union, will be held on Oct. 30, 2016 in Arlington, VA. No
federal or Marine Corps endorsement is implied. #RunWithTheMarines
