It is the third largest marathon in the United States, with approximately 40,000 finishers in 2025. The race is organized by the Marine Corps Marathon Organization, an instrumentality of Marine Corps Base Quantico, and has been run every year since 1976, with the exception of 2020 and 2021, when it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
