Semper Paratus Challenges
Are you up for the challenge? “Semper Paratus” means Always Ready and is the official motto of the United States Coast Guard. This Challenge invites athletes to push themselves even harder by completing not one, but two of the Coast Guard Marathon races in one weekend!
Semper Paratus Challenge runners will receive a special coin for completing the challenge and, of course, bragging rights! Warm up with the 5K on Saturday, and then hit the pavement to complete the challenge on Sunday, with your choice of the half or full marathon.
New for 2025 and for our runners under 12 years old, we are offering the Junior Semper Paratus Challenge. Athletes will finish the 5k, and then complete the 1K Fun Run.
For completing the challenge you’ll receive a Coast Guard Marathon shirt, medal for both completed races and a commemorative challenge coin.
