The course winds through beautiful West Akron neighborhoods, crosses the iconic All-America bridge into North Hill, takes runners down the all-new Main St. and into the Firestone Park neighborhoods before returning to downtown on the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail where a world-class finish inside Canal Park Stadium and popular Finisher Festival on the field awaits! The redesigned course features a net 150’ drop in the Full and Half Marathon and if that is not enough to excite you, just wait for the thrill of running through Akron Children’s Hospital campus at mile 25! Join us for the re-imagined FirstEnergy Akron Marathon, Half Marathon, & Team Relay.
