“Five R&R Duties” Requirement

Per the 15 January 2003 NGB Guidance for the Marathon Program, each runner must complete a minimum of five duties with their local recruiting and retention force.

These duties are not limited to major recruiting events, but can also be retention duties as well. Many of the duties can be accomplished during weekend IDTs. (i.e. Instructing fitness classes etc.)

Runners can verify their own duties by e-mailing the NGB Marathon Coordinator and a courtesy copy to their State Marathon Coordinator of the duty performed. This information should include the date of duty, duration of duty, a brief explanation of the duty performed, and the results of the duty (i.e. any leads obtained, retained guard members etc.)
