MARINE CORPS MARATHON ORGANIZATION ABOUT THE

Marine Corps Historic Half Weekend, comprised of the Healthy Lifestyle Expo, the Marine Corps Historic Half (MCHH), the Semper 5ive and the Devil Dog Double, is hosted by the Marine Corps Marathon Organization (MCMO).

Celebrating its 16th year, the MCHH welcomes runners from throughout the country and world to run the scenic and landmark-filled streets of Historic Fredericksburg, Virginia. The “Greatest Half in History” has gained a reputation for its Hospital Hill, a 0.53 mile segment in which elevation doubles from 100 feet to 200 feet. This challenging section comes at the 10.5 mile mark and is in the middle of a two mile uphill climb that eventually peaks at Cowan Boulevard. After conquering Hospital Hill, runners make their way to the finish line.

The MCMO hosts multiple events throughout the year, all with the spirit of the Marine Corps.

The 2023 MCMO Event Schedule is as follows:

• March 25: Marine Corps 17.75K
