Monuments and Medals: The "People’s Marathon”

Hosted in the nation’s capital with the start and finish in Arlington, Virginia, the Marine Corps Marathon charts a course through some of the most recognizable landmarks in the US including Arlington National Cemetery and the monuments of the National Mall.

The race is the third largest marathon in the US and is known as the “People’s Marathon” for its inclusivity - in 2025, over 40,000 finishers were recorded. Joining today are friends of the American Center in Moscow - Grace Varcadipane, Sarah Relph, Cosette Rhoads, and Isabella Genuario - all of whom completed the marathon on Sunday. They will share their experience of the marathon, how they prepared themselves to run all 26.2 miles, and what long-distance running means to them.
