SEMPER PARATUS SPOTLIGHT ⚓

More than 500 miles southwest of the Galápagos Islands, 27 mariners were forced to abandon a burning vessel and take to a life raft.

What followed is another incredible example of the work the United States Coast Guard does every day—coordinating resources across vast distances, coordinating with nearby vessels, and helping make sure every person had a way home.

Thanks to that coordination and fellow mariners answering the call, all 27 were rescued safely.

Semper Paratus in action.

At the Coast Guard Marathon, we’re proud to celebrate the people, service, and teamwork behind stories like this—and the incredible work of the United States Coast Guard, one mile at a time.

Here’s to starting the week inspired by those who are always ready. ⚓

There’s still plenty of time to be a treadsetter. 😎👟

Pick your distance. Claim your spot. Then casually drop this little runner flex: “Marathon Weekend? Locked in since August—back when flip-flops were still the dress code.” 😏

⚓ Built for the Challenge.

Congratulations to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy Class of 2030, who completed Sea Trials on August 14, 2026—an inspiring display of endurance, teamwork and determination.

That same spirit is at the heart of the Coast Guard Marathon, where perseverance, purpose and the drive to push beyond limits remind us that barriers are meant to be broken.

The Coast Guard spirit goes beyond the uniform. Whatever your finish line, keep moving toward it.
