MCM10K Registration Climbs above 6,000 Runners
Event Signs Sponsorship with Nationally Renowned Military Law Firm
QUANTICO, VA (August 23, 2010) - The Marine Corps Marathon (MCM) announced today that registration for the October 31 event has reached 60 percent capacity having surpassed 6,000 runners. The event race field has been expanded to 10,000 runners after the 2009 event closed out at 7,500 participants. Runners are encouraged to register quickly at
www.marinemarathon.com. Additionally, the MCM welcomed the Law Firm of Puckett & Faraj as a new sponsor of the MCM10K.
"We want to affiliate openly with military culture to let them know how we assist them either administratively or for judicial purposes. The MCM is one of the most visible ways for Puckett & Faraj to interact with the military community," said Neal A. Puckett, nationally renowned military criminal defense attorney.
The team at Puckett & Faraj offers a combined 63 years of United States Marine Corps service and 36 years of military criminal law practice. Runners are encouraged to visit the Puckett & Faraj booth at the MCM Health and Fitness Expo presented by GE on October 29-30 at the Washington Convention Center for free legal counseling as part of the firm's effort to aid military service members.
"One of the MCM's primary missions is generating community goodwill and bringing in a prestigious service-oriented sponsor like Puckett & Faraj supports this initiative by offering a unique setting for the runners and their families to become acquainted with this valuable resource," said Marc Goldman, MCM Sponsorship/Marketing Manager.
Reaching the potential expanded field of 10,000 participants would qualify the MCM10K as the second largest 10K race in Virginia and the 10th largest 10K in the United States. The MCM10K will be held in conjunction with the Marine Corps Marathon on October 31, 2010. The MCM10K start will be held on the National Mall at 12th and Jefferson Streets. Registration is open at
