The Marine Corps Marathon (MCM) has inspired and motivated individuals for over four decades. The MCM is one of the largest marathons in the US and the world and doesn't offer prize money, earning the nickname "the people's marathon."

In 2016, 30,000 runners started the marathon and 19,724 finished, of which 8 were from 7 SCOTS.

7 SCOTS will support 8 wounded, Ill and injured (WII) personnel with their aspiration to compete the 42nd Marine Corps Marathon 2017.

All money raised will go towards the Allied Forces Foundation (AFF) a British-American foundation to raise awareness and funding for allied wounded and their families affected by the conflicts of Iraq and Afghanistan.

We will also be supporting Erskine, Scotland's foremost provider of care for veterans and their spouses since 1916.
