On November 7, 2025, Tucker's JROTC program, Highland Springs MCJROTC, Recruiting Station (RS) Richmond and Henrico County Police Department current and past Marines came together to celebrated the 250th Birthday of the United States Marine Corps. 250th Birthdays don't come a often nor do they come again. It wasn't just a birthday. It was a celebration of 250 years of honor, courage, and commitment. 

Our total numbers included 200+!

To begin the run, we held a modified version of the Marine Corps Ball Ceremony. C/Captain Rose served as Adjutant. The Color Guard consisted of C/Sgt Blair (American Flag), C/LCpl Chen (Marine Corps Flag), C/PFC Tarton (Left), and C/PFC Rai (Right). C/1stSgt Sherlock served as the narrator and C/Sgt Simmons as the audio technician. Post ceremony is when the fun began! The follow image shows our route that we ran. 

Thank you to Henrico PD! With multiple police escorts they kept us safe.

Cadets were given cake and soda! 

We look forward to hosting another run for next year's 251th Marine Corps Birthday Run! 

Great job cadets!
