The Children of Peru Foundation is proud to be a Charity Partner with the Marine Corps Marathon (MCM) for the 35th Marine Corps Marathon as well as for the MCM10K, both races taking place on October 31.

This allows us to provide guaranteed entries for the Marine Corps Marathon and the MCM10K to runners who commit to make a donation or raise funds for the Children of Peru Foundation.

The minimum amount of fundraising asked from runners for the 35th Marine Corps Marathon is only $300 (one of the lowest requirement of all the charities in the program) and the minimum for the MCM10K race is $150.
Runners will be responsible for the Registration fee ($90 for the Marine Corps Marathon) which will not count toward their minimum fundraising requirements.

A limited number of guaranteed entries are available – so sign up now!

Fundraising

Team Children of Peru participants are encouraged to set their own fundraising goals. We require that charity participants raise (or pay themselves) $300 for the Marine Corps Marathon ($150 for the MCM10K), but why stop there? Every dollar you raise for the Children of Peru Foundation helps us fund our different programs for poor kids in Peru. We will use the dollars you raised to make a difference for poor children in Peru.  

"Can I join if I already have my entry to the "Marine Corps Marathon"?"

Runners who have already registered for the race and want to join our team so that they also can run for a cause are more than welcome!!
We are not asking for a minimum fundraising commitment but we encourage runners to get the same fundraising objective to support our projects and also make a difference for poor children in Peru.
Email mcm (at) childrenofperu.org for registration forms specifying that you already have your entry.

Why Run for the Children of Peru Foundation?

Since its creation, the Children of Peru Foundation has been working with several groups, association and NGOs to help poor children in Peru in the areas of health and education. We have built schools, we are sending surgeons every year to provide free surgeries to children in need and we want to do much more.

Whether you finish in record time or just cross the finish line, your participation will have made a difference in the lives of hundreds of Peruvian children and their families.


Email mcm (at) childrenofperu.org for more information and for registration forms. Please specify if you need a guaranteed entry or if you are already registered for the race.
