Why participate?
The Marine Corps Marathon weekend is full of camaraderie and enthusiasm as nearly 75 Push America Challenge team members tackle one of the most breathtaking running events in the United States. Traversing through the monuments of Washington DC is breathtaking and each and every runner has a story for why they run. The Push America Challenge team runs to share the message of friendship and understanding for people with disabilities.

Who does it support?

Programs include, adaptive recreation, vocational training, educational advancement and overall a sense of belonging in society with their new circumstances. Push America is proud to offer 10% of all funds raised from the Push America Challenge: Marine Corps Marathon team in a grant to support the programs of the Wounded Warrior Project.
