Get a Taste of the MCM with the Marine Corps Historic Half


The Marine Corps Historic Half – the perfect warm-up for the Marine Corps Marathon in October! The MCM is just so popular people wanted more, and here we have the 5th anniversary of the MCHH! The half marathon will take place on Sunday, May 20 in historic Fredericksburg, VA and is hosted by Marines themselves.   The Healthy Lifestyle Fitness Expo, large, very well-organized, is offered on Saturday the 19th and is a great opportunity to see what other organizations are partnered with the MCHH, check out some fantastic running gear, see what other fun races are scheduled in the area, and maybe even score some free swag J Not up to committing to the half marathon distance yet?  The Semper Fred 5K is perfect for you! The fun 3.1 mile run/walk allows the whole family to have an event for the weekend.
Team Hope For The Warriors® is excited to head to Fredericksburg again for the MCHH in May.  Just like the MCM, this race appeals to both the active and wounded military community – a perfect fit for the Team!  What a great opportunity to run for something greater than yourself…join Team Hope For The Warriors® for the MCHH to help make it possible for those who have sacrificed for our nation.  We are asking for each runner to commit to a minimum fundraising goal of $375 for Hope For The Warriors®.  Your registration with the Team provides a bib for the Marine Corps Historic Half, a Team jersey (if you don't already have one), training plans, fundraising ideas, Hope For The Warriors® informational materials and access to the post-race Team tent. 
We ran into Drew Carey last year, who was running his first half – who knows what excitement this year will bring!  Ready?  Let’s do it!  The MCHH is two months away – we’ll see you there!
