Marine Corps Marathon

Get race ready for MCM. UnTapped is the official food stop partner of the 2026 Marine Corps Marathon, which means their Energy Gels will be the only fuel available on course. Experts always say you should train with what you’re going to race with, so UnTapped is offering a special MCM sample pack to get you ready. Get yours today at UnTapped.cc/MCM

UnTapped’s Gels are made with only real food ingredients, including maple syrup for carbohydrates and whole foods like coffee, spices, or sea salt to create different varieties. They taste great, are easy on your gut, and deliver real results every time.

The wait is over. Relive all the miles, smiles, and finish line feeling! Your MCM race photos are now available. See your best shots from the course and finish line, captured by MarathonFoto. Download, share, and celebrate!

🅿️ Race day starts with a parking plan!

Before you head to the starting line, take a few minutes to review the 2026 Quantico 12K parking map. Parking lots will open in waves, so plan to arrive early and allow extra time to get parked and to the start line.

📍 Review the map.
🚗 Know the different parking lots.
⏰ Arrive early to avoid delays.

A little planning goes a long way toward a smooth race morning. We'll see you at the start!

Rain or shine, safety comes first. 🌧️☀️

As we get ready for the Quantico 12K, stay prepared for whatever race day brings. Hydrate early, dress for the conditions, pace yourself and stay alert on course.

Train smart. Prepare well. Finish strong. 💪
