Running Marine Corps Marathon Tips
Hello! Last night I had a very fancy dinner of pizza and Fire Ale (Fireball Ginger Ale). I’m happy with that life choice.
I may have stayed out a little too late so my run wasn’t the best. But I’m pretty happy I ran at all considering.
The Marine Corps Marathon is only 9 days away! I ran it last year and it was one of the top 3 races out of the 20 I did! I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an awesome marathon.
Tips for Marine Corps Marathon:
1. Get to the expo early! I waited in a very long line to get my bib.
2. Try to book a hotel near the finish. This made for an easy walk to an ice bath. I’ve heard public transportation gets super jammed.
3. Have your camera ready! There are a lot of great sights and landmarks from running past Georgetown to a majestic line of flags with pictures of servicemen and women to the memorials and more. It’s an AMAZING course!
4. Bring some throw away gear. It’s going to be cold as you walk to the start – make sure you pack something to wear that you can toss.
5. Enjoy the finish! Once you cross the finish line a Marine Corps Lieutenant will place a medal on you.
Then, there is a long line of Marines waiting to shake your hand. It is the most awesome finish line experience ever.
