The
MCM Motivational Dinner on Friday, August 21 at 6pm, will be hosted aboard Marine Corps Base
Quantico. The evening’s program offers runners, guests and the community the
opportunity to dine where Marines dine, receive inspiration from accomplished
U.S. Marine athletes, and engage in military camaraderie with fellow runners
while enjoying a delicious dinner with multiple pasta options and sauces,
salads and cookies at the Clubs at Quantico. The Motivational Dinner includes
the Marine Corps Base Quantico Ceremonial Platoon, a performance by the
Quantico Marine Band and featured speaker, Lieutenant General William M. “Mark”
Faulkner, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Marine Corps Association

Additionally, special concierge Packet Pick-up service will be provided for all
runners who purchase tickets to the dinner. Runners will receive the
official bib and shirt upon checking in at the Motivational Dinner.
