Organization (MCMO) announced today that FinisherPix, a component of the
Outside Interactive Inc. network, will come onboard as the new photography

"Whether the runner sets a new personal record or finishes a distance once
thought to be impossible, their accomplishment should be celebrated. With a
partner like FinisherPix, MCMO is able to offer participants a means to
commemorate their achievement," said Rick Nealis, director of MCMO.
"Working with Outside Interactive, Inc. will allow us to enhance our
runner’s experience on and off the course and reach a whole new audience.
We are thrilled to welcome Outside into the Marine Corps Marathon
Organization event offerings."
"Outside and the Marine Corps Marathon Organization share a belief that

runners access to FinisherPix's innovative photography features, Outside’s
award-winning content, and more ways to engage with MCMO between events."
In its mission to serve as an all-encompassing destination for active
lifestyle enthusiasts, Outside Interactive, Inc. will work with the MCMO
team to create specialized programming, themed content, exciting offerings
and more for potential participants.
Runners will be able to purchase FinisherPix photography packages prior to
the event, during the registration process and following their finish.
