Unusual find for me today....

[FCCDFEd]

Went out to the local elementary school today just cause it has been quite a while since I have had the chance to get out. Picked up little over $5 in change and a very unusual coin. The description is it appears to be brass or copper (because of the weight I believe it is brass) and on one side the inscription reads "Marine Corps Marathon" with a pic of a domed building and possibly the roman numeral XI across the building. On the back side is the Marine Corp insignia. No dates or other Id'ing info. Was wondering if anyone had any info on it. See attached pics. Sorry they are not better but I did not want to clean this coin until I find some info on it. Thanks in advance for your help and input.

I think it is a "Challenge Coin".

Marine Corps Marathon is an annual event, they just did their 43rd, so 11th would have been 1986

Marine Corps Marathon

If you finish the race, you get a coin. Some years are round, some are triangular from what it looks like.
