Marathon Glass City (Toledo)

Glass City Marathon is held in Toledo, Ohio, on April 24 and 25, 2027, with a section of the course passing through the town of Sylvania. Three road distances are offered — a 5K (3.1 miles), the half marathon (13.1 miles) and the marathon (26.2 miles) — along with a kids run for younger participants.

The marathon is the centerpiece and a late-April date makes it a natural spring goal race, provided the winter mileage is in the bank: 16 weeks of building, a long run reaching 18 to 20 miles, and a genuine three-week taper. If you are new to racing, the 5K is the friendlier way in, and the half sits between the two as the option that asks for real preparation without taking over your calendar.
