SigEp Brothers of the Washington DC Metro Area,
On Sunday, 26 October - about 30,000 people from all over the country will take to the streets of DC and NOVA to run the Marine Corps Marathon (MCM) and Marine Corps 10K.
As many of you know, I am a Chief Petty Officer in the Navy Reserve, and I am writing to you today to invite you to serve along side about 20 Chiefs (as well as some family and friends) at our water station at the MCM / 10K.
There is no fee or money involved. Just come out, hand water to runners and cheer them on.
Working at the water station is a great opportunity to help our neighbors and visitors to the region. Water station volunteers serve a vital role at the event, and inspire the runners as they work to complete their respective race.
The water station is at Point 10/11 (details below). As stated, this is a family-friendly table, so feel free to invite family and friends by directing them to the website listed below.
