Akron Trail Marathon

The Akron Trail Marathon offers a unique running experience by starting downtown and showcasing the scenic beauty of the Metro Parks. Runners begin at the Memorial Parkway trailhead for an initial city loop before exploring the picturesque, hilly Towpath Trail. Highlights include the historical locks, Mustill Store, and waterfalls. The route continues north, with a portion being adjusted due to a bridge closure in Gorge Metro Park. Each course provides a distinct journey through urban and natural landscapes, capturing the essence of Akron's charming and diverse terrain for endurance enthusiasts.
