About

Nicknamed “The People's Marathon,” the Marine Corps Marathon gathers around 30,000 runners in Arlington and Washington, D.C. every late October. No qualifying time and no prize money: a true people's race, organized by the Marines, running past the monuments of the National Mall before finishing at the Marine Corps War Memorial.

A 10K is held the same day.
