Want to track multiple teams? Simply follow the below instructions:
In 2023, the United States Marine Corps saw its 20th Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps (SMMC), SgtMaj Carlos A. Ruiz, assume the post. On January 1, 2024, runners will be challenged to travel 10,523.6 scaled miles (one mile run translates to three miles) through the hometowns of each of SMMC. This abstract loop will begin at Tun Tavern, the birthplace of the Marine Corps, and travel counterclockwise ending at the Marine Barracks Washington, the place of duty. Participants will be able to track their mileage through their haku participant account on a map. As the mileage is accumulated, individuals will receive facts about each SMMC and their hometown.
Every individual will receive a branded beanie. With each hometown reached, participants will receive an event coin that commemorates each SMMC. The first 100 registrants will receive an exclusive coin holder perfect for displaying their accomplishment.
Participants will have from January 1 to November 10, 2024, the 249th Birthday of the Marine Corps, to complete the total distance.
Registration is now closed. Teams are capped at five individuals. Two categories will be offered, running and multisport. Open to domestic only.
