The first race of the new MCM Event Series, the Butler Relay, to be held on March 29, will feature two-person teams completing a 10K course in two waves. The course includes off- road trails and main roadways with the start and finish on the newly renovated Butler Stadium.

Also, a new part of event weekend, the Butler Stadium Ribbon Cutting and Fun Run on March 28.

Members of the local community are invited to join military members and civilians aboard Marine Corps Base Quantico to celebrate the completion of renovations to Butler Stadium. On March 28, beginning at 12:00 p.m., the stadium will be officially reopened in a ribbon cutting ceremony featuring Marine Corps Base Quantico Commanding Officer Colonel Charles Dallachie and Marine Corps Marathon Race Director, Rick Nealis.

Following the ceremony, the brand new track will open for runners and fitness enthusiasts of all ages to enjoy. Those who complete at least one lap on the track between 12:15 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. will receive a vintage MCM mock neck shirt.

I hope you will join us for this short ceremony and fun run, and pass the word along to others in the Marine Corps community who may be interested in attending.
