MetroStar Systems is an official sponsor of the Marine Corps Marathon Event Series 2010!

Written by: Daniel Nguyen

MetroStar Systems is proud to announce our sponsorship of the Marine Corps Marathon (MCM) Event Series in 2010. Since 2008, MetroStar has been supporting the United States Marine Corps (USMC) with Microsoft consulting services focused on the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 platform. Many of our employees have affiliations with the Marine Corps including a Purple Heart Marine, so we are thrilled to be involved with the MCM Event Series as a sponsor and as volunteers. The Marine Corps Marathon Mission is “To promote physical fitness and generate community goodwill.” It was first hosted back in 1976 with just 1,175 runners. This year marks the 34th Annual MCM and will host 30,000 registered runners on Sunday, October 25.  “Voted ‘Best Marathon for Families‘, the Marine Corps Marathon continues a combined tradition of dedication, sportsmanship and patriotism. The race is open to all who wish to participate, and does not have a prize purse for the winners. The athletes partake in this event for the pure pleasure of running in what has been called ‘The People’s Marathon.’”

Following is a list of the dates and events of the 2010 MCM Event Series:

Run To Register 10K

Marines Corps Historic Half

Crossroads 17.75K

Run Amuck 2010

Online registration for the MCM Event Series 2010 will open on November 18, 2009.  MetroStar Systems looks forward to attending, volunteering and participating is all of these events.  For complete information please visit http://www.marinemarathon.com/Marine_Corps_Marathon.htm or email us if you are interested in participating or volunteering.
