Akron Trail Marathon

The Akron Trail Marathon, taking place on July 13, 2025, offers a unique running experience that showcases the beauty of Akron, Ohio.

Runners will encounter hilly sections, historical locks, and waterfalls along the Towpath Trail.

The event emphasizes environmental sustainability with fewer water stops and encourages runners to carry their own hydration.
