America’s Fastest Hometown Marathon • April 25, 2027
“Mercy Health has had a longstanding commitment to the health and wellbeing of our community and this partnership with the Toledo Road Runners Club (TRRC) and our more than a decade of involvement in the Mercy Health Glass City Marathon exemplifies this promise. We are excited to announce that Mercy Health has officially signed on to continue our sponsorship of the marathon into 2025 and beyond, ensuring that our medical teams and running specialists are there to help all runners get ready for this challenge and remain safe while accomplishing their goals.”
In 1971, runners gathered in Toledo for a marathon that would become one of America’s most respected spring races and fastest hometown marathons, and has grown into a nationally recognized event, helping thousands of runners earn Boston Marathon qualifying times, set personal records, complete their first marathon, and create lifelong memories.
On April 25, 2027, the Mercy Health Glass City Marathon celebrates its 50th running. For one special weekend, runners from across the nation will join generations of Glass City participants, volunteers, sponsors, and spectators to celebrate five decades of achievement, perseverance, and community.
Whether you’re chasing a Boston qualifier, your next personal record, your first finish line, or simply becoming part of history, there has never been a better time to Run Glass City. Join us as we celebrate 50 years of running excellence in Toledo, Ohio.
