Akron Trail Marathon

Downtown Akron, United States • 13 Jul 2025

The Akron Trail Marathon, held in Akron, Ohio, offers marathon, half marathon, and 10K distances. The course begins at Memorial Parkway trailhead downtown, featuring a scenic route through Summit Metro Parks and along the historic Towpath Trail, including views of locks, the Mustill Store, and waterfalls. The full marathon runs the half marathon course twice due to a bridge closure.

The trail includes hilly sections with natural terrain such as roots and rocks. Aid stations provide water, sports drinks, and gels, though runners are advised to carry their own hydration. Awards are given for overall, masters, and age group winners, with medals for all finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
