I think the Marine Corps Marathon has to be one of the stupidiest marathons run. I mean it is completely ridiculous that not one penny is put up for prize money. Instead Runners World reported that they are builing a 3.1 million dollar 12,000 sq ft. Marine Corp Marathon Headquarters at Quantico. So there goes all the race entry money put into a stupid building for the race director and his staff. BOYCOTT THIS RACE.
