Want to Crush Your Fitness Goals for 2023? LISTEN TO OUR WORKOUT PLAYLIST! In 2007, USA Track & Field banned athletes from listening to music during the Marine Corps Marathon. They claimed the restriction was partly for safety reasons — and partly because runners rocking out to bands like Led Zeppelin and Metallica had an unfair advantage over the competition.
