Join the beef checkoff and Miss Patty Melt to cheer for Team BEEF in DC during 2014 Marine Corps Marathon.

The beef checkoff’s Northeast Beef Promotion Initiative (NEBPI) is proud to fuel runners at the 39th running of the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, DC, on Oct. 26, 2014. The beef checkoff is fielding a group of runners under the Team BEEF banner, as well as participating in various activities throughout the weekend including the first timers pep rally.

“Athletes everywhere are turning to lean beef as an invaluable component in their diet regimens to help with weight management, muscle development, immunity and cardiac health,” says Jennifer Orr, NEBPI director of public relations. “We’re proud to be a part this year’s Marine Corps Marathon and are excited to cheer on Team BEEF as they race to the finish.”

The beef checkoff will be participating in several events throughout the weekend, including:
– Health and Fitness Expo by GE
– First Timers Pep Rally
– MCM Kids Run
