Akron Trail Marathon

The Akron Trail Marathon, held in Akron, Ohio, offers marathon, half marathon, and 10K distances. The course begins at Memorial Parkway trailhead downtown, featuring an out-and-back section into the city before heading into Summit Metro Parks. Runners experience scenic, hilly trails along the Towpath Trail, passing historical locks, the Mustill Store, and waterfalls.

The full marathon runs the half marathon course twice due to a bridge closure. The trail includes natural terrain with roots and rocks. Aid stations provide water, sports drinks, and gels, though participants are advised to carry their own hydration.

Awards are given for overall, masters, and age group finishers, with medals for all. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
