Race Information
Run our Classic City! We present to you a beautiful marathon, half marathon, and a 2 - 4 person marathon relay. All of the races are carefully crafted by Athens Road Runners. Finisher Medals: Half Marathon / Marathon / Marathon Relay finishers will receive an awesome Finisher Medal.
Not everyone wants to run a marathon. One way for people to be a part of the marathon experience without making the huge leap is through a marathon relay. So, what is a marathon relay exactly? Like a marathon, a marathon relay is an event that covers 26.2 miles of distance. But instead of you running all of those miles by yourself, each runner on your team will only run a portion of the marathon, but in aggregate, the team will run 26.2 miles.
Wanna add some spice to your Classic City experience? Participate as a Wild Rumpus runner. What does this mean? The Wild Rumpus is an annual Halloween parade and spectacle in Athens, GA that champions creativity, community and self expression. We invite runners to participate in the marathon, half marathon or relay experience wearing imaginative costumes or engaging in a dynamic performance. Would you like to beat a Guinness World Record? How about trying to be the fastest marathon runner while juggling, or balancing a pineapple on your head or running in a Spiderman costume?
