FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MCM, MCM50K and MCM10K Live Event Sells Out
Virtual entries remain for 46th Marine Corps Marathon, MCM50K and MCM10K
QUANTICO, VA (September 15, 2021) - More than 13,000 runners from all 50
states and the District of Columbia are now set to run live during Marine
Corps Marathon (MCM) Weekend. The reduced number of participants is part of
the COVID-19 precautions taken by the Marine Corps Marathon Organization
(MCMO) to safely execute a live event for runners in 2021.
Runners ranging from ages 7 to 86 in 28 countries around the world will be
running the popular MCM events live on October 31. All participants who
complete the live event will receive the official event shirt, a
commemorative bib, a personalized digital finisher certificate and an
impressive finisher medal. Runners will also have access to a digital event
program, Track your Runner and MapTrack.
"This year marks the 46th anniversary of the race and we couldn’t be more
excited to host the live event on Halloween," said Rick Nealis, director of
MCMO. "Coming out of the pandemic, this will be a treat, not a trick.
Runners enjoy yourselves, be strong, adapt and overcome whether you run
live or virtually."
Virtual entries are still available for the 46th MCM, MCM50K and MCM10K.
Interested participants can register here. Runners previously registered
for any of the MCM Weekend events can still secure the MCM Trifecta by
entering the other two virtually. This challenge rewards finishers with a
stunning challenge coin in addition to the corresponding finisher medal.
