The Marine Corps Marathon
by George Banker

Marine Corps Marathon: A Running Tradition captures the soul of this unique event and explains what "The People's Marathon" represents. The book is written from the heart and by those who have a personal connection to the race, the race directors and runners. It represents an indispensable piece of literature for runners and spectators.

The experience of planning and structuring military tasks helps the Marine Corps to perfectly organize this event. more
