Just Neat!!!
My son will be also running in this marathon. He is USNA Class of 2008 (graduates in May.)
He indicated that the registration opens around May - and the more than 30,000 slots get filled up within a few weeks. He got his slot because another Mid had to drop out due to some last minute problem.
This event is listed as the 4th largest marathon in the U.S. (and the largest that has no prize money ...just the honor of running with the Marines!!!)
