The Towpath Marathon

The Towpath Marathon is a classic fall race that starts in Canal Basin Park on the east bank of The Flats in downtown Cleveland and continues along the Towpath Trail. The race includes a 10K, half marathon and a Boston qualifier certified marathon course.

Along the course you’ll see Camp Cleveland, the Towpath Mounds, sweeping views of the Cuyahoga River Valley and the downtown skyline.

Virtual races are also available for those who can’t join us on the day of the race.

All Towpath Trilogy races benefit the non-profit Canalway Partners. Participation directly supports the development of the Towpath Trail, Canal Basin Park, and dozens of projects within the Ohio & Erie Canalway National Heritage Area, projects that make our community stronger and more vibrant.
