51st Marine Corps Marathon in Arlington, VA

Sunday October 25, 2026 - Washington, DC

For the first time, the Laughlin Family Foundation is honored to participate as an official charity partner of the Marine Corps Marathon (MCM), one of the most iconic races in the world. Known as “The People’s Marathon,” the Marine Corps Marathon is celebrated for its impeccable organization and historic course through Arlington, VA, and the heart of our nation’s capital. As a first year partner, we are guaranteed 25 bib entries for the 51st MCM for those runners seeking entry into the race and those who wish to join us in our fight against rare cancers.

Why Run with the Laughlin Family Foundation?

When you run with The Laughlin Family Foundation, you become part of something even bigger - a movement to give rare cancers the attention, research, and advocacy they deserve.

Rare cancers account for nearly 1 in 5 cancer diagnoses, yet they receive a disproportionately small share of research funding.. Families and patients often face limited treatment options, delayed diagnoses, and fewer clinical trials, leading to poorer outcomes.

When You Run With Us, You Receive:

💜 Guaranteed entry into the 2026 Marine Corps Marathon (we cover your registration / bib fee)
🎽 Exclusive team  t-shirt

🎉 Access to the Laughlin Family Foundation Charity Village tent post race for you and your family

📣 Personalized fundraising page and tools

🤝 Ongoing support from our Foundation team

🌟 The opportunity to make a direct impact in rare cancer research and advocacy

Every mile you run represents hope. Every dollar you raise drives progress. Every story you share gives rare cancers a stronger voice. This isn’t just race day…It’s impact day.

Please email courtney@thelaughlinfoundation.org for more information and to join our race team.
