About the Marine Corps Marathon Semper Fi & America's Fund Team

This is a charity team entry for the Marine Corps Marathon, run through Semper Fi & America's Fund. Joining means committing to a fundraising goal before race weekend, with different membership tiers depending on whether you already hold a general entry or need one provided.
