30, King, the assistant operations officer with 3rd Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, took home the first place trophy for the 47th Annual Marine Corps Marathon. “It’s always kind of bothered me that a Marine hasn’t won the Marine Corps Marathon.” “Since I’ve been in the Marine Corps, I’ve seen (the Marine Corps Marathon) won by Navy officers, I’ve seen it won by Air Force officers, I’ve seen it won by civilians, and I’ve always been a little envious,” said King. An active-duty Marine would not win for another 39 years.
Farley Simon finished first in the Marine Corps Marathon. Michael Ryan as a way to bridge the gap between the military community and the civilian population. He was at the starting line of the 2022 Marine Corps Marathon, on a mission to secure a victory for the Marine Corps. This time, however, he wasn’t standing on a gun line amongst a battery of artillery Marines. As an artillery officer, the sound is music to his ears.
Kyle King is intimately familiar with the sound of the blast from a 105 mm howitzer.
