Event Description:
Join Susan G. Komen Marathon for the Cure in training and running for the Marine Corps Marathon.
The marathon course takes runners on a journey through the nation's capitol. Featuring all the great milestones of recent courses, the course will showcase the best of Arlington, VA and Washington, D.C.
We are prepared to dedicate the time and resources it takes to recruit, train and help support you in reaching your 26.2 mile goal.
In order to run with Marathon for the Cure, you will need to commit to fundraise a minimum of $2,200 if you need a race entry or $1,500 if you already have your race entry. This number is set to keep our program costs low and to ensure your donations are utilized to maximize our investment in breast cancer research, screening, education and treatment.

Aligning long-distance runners like you with our organization is an approach we feel passionate about. We're dedicated to putting each dollar raised toward funding valuable research and community outreach programs that help bring us closer to achieving our ultimate goal: a world without breast cancer.
