Athens Ohio Marathon
The Athens Ohio Marathon is scheduled for April 19, 2026 in Athens, Ohio. The event includes a full marathon, a half marathon, and virtual marathon and half-marathon options. The race has run continuously since 1968 and is described as Ohio’s longest consecutively run marathon; the half marathon has a multi-decade history as well.
Both in-person courses are USATF certified and are described as well marked. The marathon course begins near Uptown Athens by the Ohio University College Green and the start corner of South College Street and East Union Street is listed as the start location. The route connects with the Hocking Adena Bikeway for a largely flat remainder and finishes on the Ohio University track. The course follows the Hocking River valley rather than the surrounding foothills.
Race weekend information includes details about parking, aid stations, and spectator access. The full marathon serves as a Boston Marathon qualifier. Event pages list age eligibility and virtual options, and additional logistical and registration details are published by the organizer.
