United States Marine Corps Marathon
The Celiac Disease Foundation is proud to be an Official Charity Partner for the 2026 Marine Corps Marathon, and we’re currently recruiting runners to join Team Gluten-Free!
Each runner on Team Gluten-Free is more than just an athlete — they’re an advocate for a world free of celiac disease. By joining the team, you’ll raise vital funds to support research, treatments, and ultimately a cure, all while taking on the incredible challenge of the October 25, 2026 race.

- Guaranteed entry into the 2026 Marine Corps Marathon
- A complimentary Team Gluten-Free performance shirt, hat, socks, water bottle, and bib fasteners

- The opportunity to be featured in a social media video sharing your story
- An invitation to a special race weekend gathering
