Due to COVID19 and new pace requirements for the Marine Corps Marathon, the Marine Raider Foundation Charity Partner Team is deferring its race entries for the Marathon and 50K to 2021, but we are inviting people to register for the race’s virtual options and #Run4Raiders! Virtual entries for the 10K are currently being accepted by the MCM – please visit this link for details: https://www.marinemarathon.com/events/marathon/mcm-weekend/mcm10k Virtual entries for the Marathon and 50K may open to the public on July 2nd – click here for details. If you are already registered (through lottery system entry) and would like to #Run4Raiders, we invite you to join our fundraising team, too!
Since 2013, our annual MCM Charity Partner Teams have collectively raised over $800,000! We have had runners as young as 12 and well into their 80’s #Run4Raiders through our Nation’s Capitol, some running their very first marathon, 10K or Ultra! Our runners have included current and former Marine Raiders, Marine Raider Gold Star Families, and civilians who felt compelled to show their appreciation for the Marine Raider community.
When you choose to #Run4Raiders, your miles are making a difference in the lives of Raiders and their families! Whether it’s 6.2, 26.2 or 31 miles, your commitment to the cause supports the four programs of our mission: Raider Support; Family Resiliency; Tragedy Assistance and Survivor Support; and Raider Legacy and Preservation. Our MCM Charity Partner Team has made a significant contribution to the $4.3 million in assistance that the Marine Raider Foundation has provided to Marine Raiders and their families during times of need.
