Run for a reason and dedicate your marathon to a great cause! Runners are invited to join Team USO for the 35th Marine Corps Marathon, to be held October 31, 2010. The MCM is the fifth largest marathon in the country and attracts more than 30,000 runners. Nicknamed the 'Marathon of the Monuments', the MCM passes many historic sites, such as the Lincoln, Washington, World War II, and Jefferson Memorials.
By joining Team USO, you will receive a guaranteed entry into the 2010 MCM or 10K race. Each runner is asked to commit to a minimum fundraising goal. By helping to raise funds for the USO, you will receive a variety of benefits. Perhaps more importantly, you will have made a positive difference in the lives of our troops and their families.
Service members deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan can also participate as a Team USO member through MCM Forward.
All proceeds raised by Team USO will go directly to the organization to help fund vital programs and services for our men and women in uniform and their families.
