Penske Truck Rental will support a seamless marathon experience on the point-to-point course, spotlighting Penske’s commitment to community support and operational excellence.

“The management of gear check is integral to ensuring a world-class experience for our runners, involving the precise coordination of over 20,000 gear bags from start to finish,” stated Murphy Reinschreiber, The McCourt Foundation’s chief operating officer.
