FirstEnergy Akron Marathon, Half Marathon and Team Relay

The FirstEnergy Akron Marathon, Half Marathon and Team Relay is the main event of the Akron Marathon Race Series and marks 25 years of Blue Line traditions in 2027. The event includes three race options that follow a course through downtown Akron and nearby parks.

The course begins and ends in downtown Akron and passes several local landmarks and corridors, including the Akron Art Museum, The University of Akron, Firestone Park, the Towpath Trail, Sand Run Parkway, Stan Hywet Estate, and Highland Square before reaching the Blue Line finish at Lock 3.

The Team Relay divides the marathon course into five legs to allow groups to share the distance. The relay format is used by new runners, corporate teams, families and friends.

Awards are presented to recognize participant achievements at the finish line, from personal milestones to top performances. An Elite Athlete Program is offered to provide an enhanced experience for elite runners in the marathon and half marathon.

Event materials include course maps and race details. The event also features images and race day media from previous years. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
