The Marion Made Challenge

11/03/2022

To the OCR community & former MMC racers: although COVID was the proximate cause of our going offline the past couple years, we have also determined that the event was too demanding for us to continue to host as a major event. All of you helped to make the MMC a huge success, (and for that we thank you!), but the event got to the point where it overwhelmed our capacity.

As a small school, with limited staff support, it took all we had and then some to put on this event every year especially as it was growing so quickly. So, the decision has been made to go back to its original focus, which was to have something fun for our cadets to organize and execute for the Corps and our local community. Although we will have a MMC this spring, it will be very informal and focused on our cadets vs. a public fundraiser.

We regret to announce that MMI is cancelling our March 2022 OCR due to many issues, including COVID. We plan to resume a public event in 2023. MMC racers, thanks for all of your past support!

After very careful and comprehensive consideration, the President of Marion Military Institute (MMI) announces that we will postpone the Marion Made Challenge this spring. Our number one mission at MMI is to educate the future leaders of America. With that in mind, we must put our cadets health before all else so that they may complete their goals to take the next steps towards their careers and dreams. Currently, campus is closed to outsiders(including all other public events) to protect our students who have all been tested for the novel Corona virus.

However, MMI is hosting an in-house race for the cadets, faculty and staff, operating the event in the same manner we would on our public race day with the hopes that we will continue to make this event better as it has been each time.

We truly appreciate your support and all of the inquiries regarding MMC. It has made us feel very proud that people want to support this cause and have an amazing race experience with us. It has been tough to make this decision but it will only make us even stronger. 👊🏽 OCR Buddy OCR-Strong
