Congratulations on your decision to participate in the 43rd Marine Corps Marathon through the very exclusive MCM Four Star Registration Package.

Multiple options exist to customize this program including registration for one or two runners and a hotel stay for two or three nights. The Four Star Registration is non-refundable, non-transferrable, non-deferrable and may not be cancelled. Purchase of this package represents a commitment that reflects that of being a Marine--All In!

Entries

Four Star Registration includes up to two guaranteed entries depending on the program of your choice. The two-runner package includes the option for one entry into the 43rd MCM on October 28, 2018 and a second guaranteed entry to share with another individual for either the 2018 MCM or MCM10K. Following the completion of the Four Star Registration form, an email will be sent with a link to register for the second 2018 entry based on stated preference.

VIP Amenities

Enjoy the ease and attention that comes with being a Four Star runner throughout MCM Weekend. No waiting in lines! Runners will enjoy the 'Runners-Only' luxury shuttle directly to Runners Village or the 10K start, where a Four Star Welcome Tent awaits with light refreshments, private port-a-potties and more appealing amenities. At the finish line, a Four Star Victory Tent will host finishers with special post-run hospitality. Four Star runners will be provided a Metro SmarTrip card for transportation from the finish line to the Gaylord shuttles at Eisenhower Metro station.

Event Access

The Four Star package is highlighted by the inclusion of passes to special MCM Weekend events. Depending on the package of your selection, this may include up to three private receptions. Additionally, the Four Star bundle features tickets to the pasta dinner known as the Carbo Dining In on Saturday evening.

Gaylord National

The 2018 MCM Four Star Registration hosts runners at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center. Featuring a 19-story glass atrium overlooking the Potomac River, MCM Four Star runners will appreciate Gaylord National's award-winning service, dining, shopping and entertainment and convenience to MCM Events - all under one roof. Guest rooms offer mini-fridge, coffee maker and two bottled waters per day. Bathrooms are beautifully appointed with granite countertops, dual-sinks, and marble floors. All hotel fees are included in the overall package pricing.

Assistance

Any hotel-related inquiries prior to the week of the MCM, should be directed to onPeak and not the Gaylord National Resort. onPeak, the MCM housing partner, manages all hotel reservations and can provide support as needed. In October, Four Star runners will receive the eCard featuring the official bib number. This eCard serves as a Fast Pass to a dedicated Four Star check-in counter at Packet Pick-up. Runners will present the eCard and receive a welcome packet including the official limited edition Four Star bib, a Four Star itinerary and other event tickets and amenities.
