Not only does the Healthy Kids Fun Run offer plenty of action, it lends the opportunity to bring special programming to schools while capturing funding for physical education.

The Marine Corps Marathon was established in 1976 and is currently the third largest marathon in the United States and the eighth largest in the world. The race field of 30,000 is composed of runners from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and more than 50 countries.
