FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
47th Marine Corps Marathon Live Event Sells Out
Virtual Entries Remain for 47th Marine Corps Marathon
QUANTICO, VA (March 30, 2022) - Nearly 20,000 runners from all 50 states,
the District of Columbia, and 47 countries are now set to run the live and
in-person 47th Marine Corps Marathon (MCM).
"We are thrilled to announce that the 47th MCM is officially sold out,
highlighting that our running community is itching to run alongside our
Marines and Sailors throughout our nation’s capital once again," said Rick
Nealis, director of Marine Corps Marathon Organization (MCMO). "The final
rush of entries came in following our Marine Corps 17.75K event, which just
ran live on Saturday, March 26. The atmosphere and excitement was
exhilarating, and we can’t wait to feel that on a much grander scale in
October."
Runners who were unable to gain entry into the marathon can still receive
access by participating in the MCM Charity Program. Further information on
participating charities can be found here.
All participants who complete the live event will receive the official
event shirt, an impressive finisher medal and more. Runners will also have
access to a digital event program, Track your Runner and MapTrack.
Limited virtual entries are still available for the 47th MCM, as well as
live and virtual entries for the MCM50K. Interested participants can
register here.
Runners previously registered for the live MCM or MCM50K can also 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 medals. Live and virtual registration for the MCM10K
presented by Navy Federal Credit Union, the third event of MCM Weekend,
will open on April 6 at noon EST at www.marinemarathon.com.
