Okay, here is the skinny on Marine Corps. Registration starts tomorrow, Wednesday April 7th, at noon. To register, go to www.marinemarathon.com. It will cost approximately $90 to enter the race this year. There probably will also be an additional processing fee since MCM utilizes Active for registration. Also, there is a 10k event at MCM as well, for anybody interested in running a shorter event and giving those running the marathon some much needed support. QCS would like to field a men's and women's open team as well as Masters teams for both sexes. We currently are very lacking on the female side for participants. This is a great experience and anybody is welcome to sign up and travel with us. As for that aspect - QCS is currently looking at two hotels for lodging. We can get group rates at either place. Parking is included at both places. Choice 1 is the Virginian Suites who we have been in contact with. They are quoting us a room rate of $159. This hotel is immediately next to the finish line and presents a great place for access to the start line as well. Choice 2 the Comfort Inn Ballston. Traditionally, this is where the Striders have stayed in 2007 and 2008. The room rate here is $140 a night. It does present a bit of a challenge getting to the start and getting back there after the finish. There is a short but crowded Metro ride involved and a nice walk to the start. However, the Striders do have an established routine when staying at this location. Comfort counts for something, but so does proximity when considering Virginian Suites. I encourage those interested in going to MCM to explore these two options by visiting the respective websites at www.virginiansuites.com and www.comfortinnarlington.com. If you are planning on traveling with us to MCM, please let me know which place you prefer ASAP.
