In Honor of all our Military Personnel presently wearing the uniform, each person will qualify for a 50% discount for serving our country during the 13th anniversary of the Quad Cities Marathon.

For most of the QCM's existence we have been at war against world-wide terrorism. Locally we have seen many sad and unfortunate instances of loss and grief. "As founder and race director of the event, I believe it's imperative we celebrate this milestone with a fitting tribute and salute to our men and women in uniform today. At the starting line on Sunday, September 26th at 7:30 AM, we will honor you with a heartfelt appreciation.

Thank You for your service to our country. This recognition is also a show of appreciation to our military friends and leaders on Arsenal Island as well as the Army's Corps of Engineers. They have been tremendous supporters and an integral part of the Quad Cities Marathon's success since its inception," says Joe Moreno.
