Hometown Event: Martin Marietta Sponsors
Raleigh’s Biggest Race of the Year

Dozens of Corporate and East Division team members helped facilitate another successful event late
in 2024 as the company again sponsored Raleigh’s hometown race, the Martin Marietta City of
Oaks Marathon.
Starting and ending in the heart of the city, the marathon is the city’s largest race event and allows runners to choose
between four courses: a marathon, half-marathon, 10K, and 5K. Debuting in 2024 was a significant course change: the
marathon, half-marathon, and 10K paths all included additional sites in North Carolina’s capital city, including the
Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts. Race organizers said the course change helped drive race participation.
More than 7,600 runners signed up, an event record and a 27% increase from 2023.
On race day, thousands more cheered for their friends and family from the city streets.

“The turnout for this year’s race was simply extraordinary,” said Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer
Don McCunniff. “People came from across The Triangle and beyond to challenge themselves in a meaningful and healthy way,
and it was great for Martin Marietta to have a role in that. Dozens of our colleagues in the Corporate and East Division offices
volunteered their time to ensure a successful event and their efforts reflected incredibly well on Martin Marietta.”

From the race start to the finish line, Martin Marietta’s logo was displayed throughout the course, including on the official
race t-shirt, all finisher medals, and all mile markers, which featured a host of mining and rock-related puns. Martin
Marietta first partnered with the race in 2022. The following year, the company increased its support and took over
naming rights; this level of sponsorship will remain in place through the 2026 event.

In addition to providing a fun and health activity for the community, the Martin Marietta City of Oaks Marathon was enjoyed by
dozens of Martin Marietta team members from the Corporate and East Division offices.
