U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Kyle King, the first-place male finisher of the 50th annual Marine Corps Marathon, poses with the Marine Corps Marathon banner in Arlington, Virginia, Oct. 26, 2025. The 2025 “People’s Marathon” featured the hallmark esprit de corps, perseverance, and community spirit the race is known for. Tens of thousands of runners converged on D.C., Maryland, and Virginia to not only show support for the Marine Corps and their country, but also for the unique experience of running this iconic course alongside Marines.
