The Akron Children's Hospital Akron Marathon Race Series was born with the goal of supporting the hospital in its mission to serve the health and wellness of the children and families of our community. The series will include events on June 24th, August 12th, & September 23rd and each event will include the same world-class treatment you’ve come to expect from the Akron Marathon over the past 14 years. Best of all, the Series is designed to coincide with training benchmarks and will include cumulative scoring and incentives leading up to our marquee September race.
