The Marine Corps Marathon is held each fall, with a course running through Arlington and Washington DC. Race morning brings early start times, large crowds and extensive road closures, and the race organizers publish closure maps and spectator guidance ahead of the event.
Who books marathon transportation
- Running clubs and charity teams bringing runners from hotels to the start area
- Military units and organizations with groups of runners
- Spectator groups moving between viewing points and the finish area
- Corporate teams hosting post-race receptions
How we plan race weekend
- Early departures. Runner shuttles leave hotels well before the start, timed around the official guidance for arrival at the start area.
- Drop-off where vehicles are allowed. We use drop-off points outside the closed roads, based on the published closure maps.
- Planned reunions. After the race, a fixed pickup point and time keeps runners and supporters together.
