Race Information

The Towpath Marathon will take you through the completed sections of the Towpath Trail! This all-trail course will have participants running through the beautiful vistas along the Cuyahoga River, through the Industrial Valley, and into parklands along the historic Ohio & Erie Canalway, and Cuyahoga Valley National Park!

Run three races and conquer the Towpath Trilogy!

The Towpath Half in April, the Towpath Twilight Ten-Ten in June, and the Towpath Marathon in October make up the Towpath Trilogy. This race series features a variety of race lengths to accommodate runners and walkers of all experience levels.

The Towpath Trilogy aids in the fundraising efforts by Canalway Partners to support other Towpath Trail events and programming in the Ohio & Erie Canalway National Heritage Area.

In order to complete the Towpath Trilogy, runners must take part in all three races.  By doing so, you will be rewarded with custom Towpath Trilogy swag and receive exclusive invitations to all of Canalway Partners’ events.
