Marines Want Runners' Thoughts on Marathon Mayhem—Comment Now!

## Summary

The Marine Corps wants your thoughts on a new way to collect info from marathon runners. They’re checking if the questions make sense, aren’t too much work, and help run the race smoothly. If you have ideas or concerns, speak up by November 24, 2026—this helps keep the marathon fun and fair without wasting time or money.

## Abstract

In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the United States Marine Corps (USMC) announces a proposed public information collection and seeks public comment on the provisions thereof. Comments are invited on: whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize the burden of the information collection on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

## Effects PRIA read

- Runners must provide contact and ID info: benefit, low. You must give personal and contact information to register for Marine Corps Marathon (MCM) races so organizers can identify you for timing and results, determine award categories, and have contact details on file if emergency treatment is required.
- Participant data used for marketing: cost, low. The Marine Corps Marathon Organization may use registration information to foster marketing relationships and provide participation data for future event planning and promotion, meaning your registration data can be used for marketing and outreach.
- Time required to complete registration: cost, low. Registering for MCM races imposes a time burden: the agency estimates 61,300 respondents annually with total annual burden of 8,967 hours, and average time per response of 2 minutes (Volunteer), 5 minutes (Kids Race, 17.75K, 12K, Turkey Trot), or 10 minutes (MCM Weekend and Historic Half Weekend).
