QUANTICO, VA (March 1, 2016) - Military members currently serving on active duty or in the Reserve will want to register quickly beginning at noon Eastern tomorrow, March 2 to obtain a 15 percent registration discount to the 41st Marine Corps Marathon (MCM).
GEICO is partnering with the MCM to celebrate military participants who obligate their time to train and run the event annually held in Arlington, VA and throughout the nation's capital. Military members can register at www.marinemarathon.com and pay $114.75, or 15 percent off the full registration cost of $135.
More than 9,000 military members from all service branches participate in the MCM. Thousands of others run to honor, or celebrate, the military service of a loved one. Through the MCM's partnership with GEICO, 2,500 entries will be available to service members until they are sold out. The MCM is open to all ages 14 and above.
Military members not able to obtain one of the limited discounted entries still can register through the MCM Lottery, open to the public from March 24-30.
