Marine Corps 2026

Are you ready to make your miles matter?

The Allyson Whitney Foundation invites you to lace up and run for a reason at the 2026 Marine Corps Marathon—known as “The People’s Marathon.” This iconic race through the heart of our nation’s capital honors service, strength, and sacrifice—and now, it can honor your commitment to help young adults fighting rare cancers.

As a member of Team AWF, you’ll be more than a runner. You’ll be a lifeline.
Our all-volunteer foundation provides Life Interrupted Grants that ease the financial burdens young adults face during cancer treatment.

Your fundraising goal of $1,000 USD makes an immediate, powerful impact.
