From the Organizer
The Fredericksburg Area Running Club has been given 15 bibs for the Marine Corps Marathon to sell to its members. After purchasing the entry from us, you will receive an access code and URL to complete your registration at no charge. That information will be provided in July, and you must complete the registration by July 31.
This site does not include official information about the race. You should access https://www.marinemarathon.com/event/marine-corps-marathon/ for official race information.
Once we sell all of our bibs, it does not mean the race is sold out. Access the official site for openings.
No additional transaction fees will be added to the price we are charging. So, they may appear higher than the official site price, which is before a transaction fee is added.
Our sale begins at 2 pm EDT on March 30, 2026. Registration on the Marathon site begins at 10 am EDT on April 6, 2026.
We are offering a 10% to Fredericksburg Area Running Club members, which will be applied at checkout.

From Endurance Grid
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
The half marathon is the distance where you find out what you're actually made of. Long enough to demand real preparation. Short enough that it doesn't consume your life to train for it. Most people who run their first half describe it as the race that changed their relationship with what they're capable of. Once you cross this finish line, the bar moves. That's not a warning — that's the point.
Race day energy varies by event size, but the finish line feeling is the same regardless. Big races keep the noise going the whole way. Smaller races give you stretches where it's just you and the miles — and that solitude becomes its own kind of fuel.
The half marathon rewards people who show up for the boring training miles.
How long to train: 10–14 weeks. If you're already running consistently, 10 weeks of structured buildup is enough. If you're building from a casual base, give yourself 14.
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
