See the best of Akron, Ohio!
What if there was a Marathon that started downtown and then showed off the Metro Parks? The inaugural Akron Trail Marathon does just that! You will start at Memorial Parkway trailhead, run a quick out & back into the city, then head to Summit Metro Parks. Along the way you will get to experience a beautiful hilly section of the Towpath Trail that heads out of the city, the historical locks, the Mustill Store, and waterfalls!
The course follows the locks out of downtown and then heads north on the Towpath. From there we are currently reworking the course, it will still include Schumacher trail, the overlook, and Oxbow trail. The marathon is likely getting a new look with more "trail".
Water Stops
We will plan on having about 6-8 water stops on the marathon route, 3-4 on the half marathon route, and 1 on the 10k route. We will have water & sports drink, and gels at the water stops; snacks for the full and half at the halfway aid station. It is advised that you carry a handheld water bottle, as it will most likely be hot & humid in mid-July. We would also like to use as few cups as possible to help out our environment.
***There are fewer water stops on this course than on a road course. Please be prepared***
