Cleveland Marathon has a new title sponsor, Union Home Mortgage

"We are proud to be headquartered in the Cleveland area and believe in investing in our community to make it a better place for all of us," said Bill Cosgrove, president and CEO of Union Home Mortgage, in a statement.

Union Home Mortgage is an independent mortgage banking company based in Strongsville, Ohio.

"The marathon has exceptional leadership and has been a hallmark event and economic driver for our region for decades," Cosgrove said about one of the oldest marathons in the United States.

The Cleveland Marathon was founded soon after Union Home Mortgage got its start in 1970.

The Union Home Mortgage Cleveland Marathon is scheduled to be held in person on May 15 and 16.

Last year's marathon, sponsored by Rite Aid, was canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic. Instead, the marathon was run virtually, according to Cleveland.com.

Helped by technology and low interest rates, Union Home Mortgage has grown during the pandemic.

The mortgage banker has recently added sponsorships for the Gasparilla Bowl and PGA pro Jason Dufner.

In July, Union Home Mortgage said it would add a third building to its Strongsville campus and create 450 jobs by this summer, thanks, in part, to receiving Ohio Job Creation Tax Credits.
