Part of a series of running events known as the Semper Fi Grand Prix — scheduled throughout the year, both here on the Marine Corps base in Camp Lejeune and around the southeast — the Marine Corps Half Marathon takes runners on an out-and-back course that starts and finishes at the Russell Marine and Family Center and then winds through the paved roads around the base.
Described by the race organizers at Camp Lejeune as a scenic, fast and flat course, the race awards points to runners who have signed up for the Grand Prix series.
