For the second year running, a 7 man team of serving and retired Paratroopers will be taking part in the 40th Anniversary Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, DC to raise money for SUPPORT OUR PARAS.

The race will take place on Sunday 25 October this year and participants will embark on the 26.2-mile journey in the 40th MCM starting at 7:55 a.m.  There will be a live broadcast conducted by Comcast SportsNet with highlights of the MCM’s background and history.  The MCM promises a spectacular start with international flags from 54 different nations and the firing of the M2A1 Howitzer.
