The Akron Marathon is a marathon located in Akron, Ohio. It is typically held in September.
The race was first run in 2003. It played host to the North American Men's Marathon Relay Championships in its first two years.[1][2] The 2024 event will take place on September 28 with the marathon, half marathon, and marathon team relay. The race routes have changed several times since its beginning, and is generally considered a challenging course through Akron's scenic neighborhoods.
In 2015, the Akron Marathon Race Series was launched with the addition of two separate events. The National Interstate 8k and 1 mile races are held near the University of Akron on the last Saturday in June. The Goodyear Half Marathon and 10k is held near the Goodyear Headquarters on the second Saturday in August.
