Glass City Marathon

Run faster at the Toledo Roadrunners Club’s 48th annual Mercy Health Glass City Marathon in Toledo, Ohio! A field of up to 2,000 runners will compete on the fast and flat 26.2 mile, marathon course. Our springtime marathon regularly shows in the top 25 fastest races, with over a third of the field punching their ticket to run on Patriot’s Day with a Boston Marathon qualifying time. Runners wind their way through some of the area’s most scenic spots before ending at the finish line inside the University of Toledo Glass Bowl Stadium. With all the race has to offer runners from around the country and around the globe, plan to book an extended stay and explore all of Toledo, Ohio’s renowned attractions to complete your Glass City experience.

The Glass City Marathon weekend includes other races and events for those who want to join the fun without competing in the 26.2 mile marathon. For a full list of races and event info visit Mercy Health Glass City Marathon — Toledo Roadrunners Club

NORTH STAR BLUESCOPE 5-PERSON MARATHON RELAY
Put your team of five together and get ready to take on the full 26.2 mile course together. Each member of the team will run one of the legs, while the other four travel from exchange point to exchange point. Our shuttle will take the stress out of getting around the road closures and traffic delays by delivering you within a short distance from where you’ll be meeting your runner on the course. Teams receive one timing chip that they’ll handoff within the designated relay zone to the subsequent member heading out for the next leg of the race. The atmosphere provides everyone with a little taste of the full marathon route and allows everyone to show off team spirit and cheering skills.
