About the Marine Corps Marathon
The iconic Marine Corps Marathon (MCM) course showcases 250 years of American history featuring Presidential landmarks like the Kennedy Center, Theodore Roosevelt Bridge, Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, FDR Memorial and Washington Monument. Most powerful is the wear blue Mile, a living memorial to the fallen heroes of the U.S. military. And few experiences can rival the thrill of receiving your beautiful commemorative medal from a USMC Officer after a triumphant finish at the US Marine Corps War Memorial, aka the Iwo Jima Memorial.


HOW IT WORKS:
The promotional period is May 28–June 22, 2025, and all entries must be received by 11:59pm PDT on Sunday, June 22, 2025 to be eligible to win.
