The Marine Corps Marathon is still a GO! With less than 44 days until the
Marine Corps Marathon (MCM), the runners are logging long miles and
visualizing the course in preparation for their participation in "The
People's Marathon."  As a valued MCM volunteer, you can prepare for your
essential support role at the MCM, as well, over these final couple months.

 

In the past, our Marines and volunteers have distributed 850,000 cups of
water and 25,000 bottles of Gatorade. Medical teams have been issued 16,400
pounds of ice to provide to runners in need.. Every volunteer position is
highly regarded as important to the execution of this world class event.

 

You have chosen to volunteer alongside nearly 2,000 others to support the
inspired missions of 13,000 motivated runners on October 31st, 2021 as well
as the days leading up to the big event. These runners hail from all 50
states, more than 41 countries, all branches of the military, as well as,
the civilian world and all share the goal of crossing the finish line at the
Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, Virginia. You will help them get
there!

 

By signing up as a volunteer, you have become part of the MCM team,
espousing the impressive organizational skills of the Marine Corps while
bringing energy, enthusiasm and spirit.  It is a mission for which you are
destined to triumph.

 

In October, the MCM will send additional details to prepare you for your
call to duty.  In the meantime, please review your assignment information
included in this message.  If it is inaccurate or if you are no longer able
to serve, please inform our Volunteer Coordinator @
jared.kline at usmc-mccs.org <mailto:jared.kline at usmc-mccs.org>  , as soon as
possible.  All-important MCM information is available at
www.marinemarathon.com <http://www.marinemarathon.com>  .

  

**Packing Volunteers Needed** Because the Expo has been canceled due to the
safety concerns of having an indoor event. The Marine Corps Marathon has
taken on a mountain of a mission to mail-out all the packets to the runners
and need additional volunteers to make this mission happen. If you are
interested in supporting, the MCM Office will be packing all the packets
from Oct 3rd - Oct 5th. If you would like to help out, please use this link
https://xactllc.volunteerlocal.com/volunteer/?id=55865 to register. It takes
place at the MCM Building at 3399 Russell Road, Quantico, VA. 

 

A hearty Marine Corps OORAH and thank you for committing to volunteer for
the 46th MCM. 

 

Semper Fidelis,

Jared Kline - Volunteer Coordinator
