Runners who weren't lucky in the Marine Corps Marathon entry lottery can still get in by putting a few miles on their cars.

Marathon officials are putting about 500 additional entries up for grabs next week. They are mostly numbers that had been reserved for charity groups and running clubs but were returned unused, said race director Rick Nealis.

The catch? Runners have to show up in person at the Quantico Marine Corps Base to claim one. Entries cost $75 and will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis beginning at 8 a.m. Sept. 18 at race headquarters, 3035 Barnett Avenue, Quantico.
