Registration for this year’s Marine Corps Marathon closed out in five days (the second fast in event history) and as usual, many runners missed the boat and were forced to look elsewhere for a Fall marathon. This year, however, the Palomar Hotel is offering a first-of-its kind partnership with the 33rd Annual Marine Corps Marathon that will provide runners with a special opportunity to register for the sold-out marathon.
All you have to do is book the exclusive Go The Distance package at the four-star Hotel Palomar Arlington, located just steps from the Marine Corps Marathon’s finish line.
At $305.00 the package offers pretty good value and includes the following:
- Two nights minimum stay in deluxe accommodations at the hotel
- One registration entry for Marine Corps Marathon
- Transportation for one registrant to the marathon’s starting line
- Energy gels and nutritional snacks to help runners reach peak performance
- Complimentary use of yoga mat for stretching during stay
As an added bonus, the Hotel Palomar Arlington will donate $100 to the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society – a nonprofit organization that provides financial and educational support to Navy and Marine Corps members, family and survivors.
The package is based on availability and does not include tax. Just call 1-800-KIMPTON and mention the code PMAR. Good luck!
That’s neat. Wish they would’ve had that offer last year.
Nice find; that’s actually a very good deal.
Yeah, I thought it was a great idea. Hopefully the post will help someone out…
This is awesome! I would love to get this package.
But it’s full right now 🙁
IF SOMEONE ON HERE IS DOING THIS AND CANCELS, would you leave a comment or message me and let me know??
Thanks!
