Why Run with Push America and why the Marine Corps Marathon?

With this goal, we are going to pull out all the stops to ensure that this is an incredible experience for you and your family. We have booked rooms at a hotel near the start and finish lines. We’ll have a team dinner the night before. You will be giving a grant to an organization that serves our soldiers that are wounded in the war. We have a list of enticing incentives to help offset the costs of participating in a destination marathon. We have purchased a tent right at the finish line, so no fighting 30,000 other runners to find family, food and post-race refreshments!

We want to make sure you’re prepared to run 26.2. Chances are we know someone in your area that is a runner you can train with. Push America is paying for your registration costs and give you dry-fit PAC shirt to train in. Through the Marine Corps Marathon and Active.com, you will have access to Jeff Galloway’s world class training methods. If the Galloway plan isn’t your style, most of the Push America staff has run a marathon and we have many other resources we can tap into to find a plan that fits your schedule.

We also want to ensure your success while you fundraise. You will have access to Push America online fundraising system with your own PURL (Personal URL). Gone are the days of letter writing, collecting checks and shuffling papers. Type out a quick email, add your personalized webpage and your in business. Each donor will receive an email thanking them for their gift and acknowledgment for tax purposes.

In case your unsure, or just like things in a nice, tidy list, here you go!
