Athens Ohio Marathon

The Athens Ohio Marathon is Ohio's longest-running marathon, having been held annually since 1968. Set in the picturesque town of Athens, the event features both a full marathon and a half marathon, with courses that are USATF certified and designed for speed. Participants start in Uptown Athens and run along the scenic Hockhocking-Adena Bikeway, ensuring a flat and fast race experience.

The marathon is an excellent opportunity for runners seeking to qualify for the Boston Marathon while enjoying the beautiful spring scenery of the Hocking River valley. The next event is scheduled for April 13, 2025. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
