[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is unfortunate for not just the runners but also the DC area -- already hit economically by DOGE, the cancellation of these two events would be [b]worth millions in hotel rooms, restaurants[/b], and other spending by the thousands of people who come into the city to participate or cheer on participants. These are often peak days for things like metro revenues and parking fees. With the Nationals failing again to make the post season, the loss of the race-related revenues contributes to a real down month for DC and the inner suburbs.[/quote]

Old but good data and you can assume revenues are higher now: https://www.bizjournals.com/washington/news/2014/01/27/marine-corps-marathon-worth-88m-to.html

This article mentions more recent data and some breakdowns on what the MCM means for different municipalities/counties in the area (it's not just DC): https://wtop.com/business-finance/2017/10/marine-corps-marathons-big-winner-prince-georges-county/

Army Ten Miler may bring in less, but the two combined are easily over 100 million in revenue for the area.[/quote]
