First Command Financial Services, Inc., is supporting the 42nd Marine Corps Marathon (MCM), continuing the company’s proud history of teaming up with “The People’s Marathon.”

The 2017 MCM boasts an entire weekend of events October 20-22, including the MCM Kickoff presented by First Command. First Command will also maintain a booth at the Health & Fitness Expo.

“We are honored to continue our partnership with ‘The People’s Marathon,’ and we look forward to joining the tens of thousands of volunteers and fans who will be cheering on the runners as they make their way through the heart of our nation’s capital,” said Scott Spiker, chairman/CEO of First Command. “We view our ongoing support of this event as a clear demonstration of the connection we feel with all of the armed forces.”

First Command’s relationship with the MCM began in 1998 when more than 170 First Command employees and their families volunteered to assist nearly 15,000 runners.
