Each calendar year the Toledo Roadrunners Club grants Toledo area non-profits the opportunity to partner with their signature event, the Mercy Health Glass City Marathon and Owens Corning Half Marathon.
Becoming a beneficiary has many benefits and is an awesome opportunity to join in the fun, and raise funds to help your organization. Since 2009, Toledo Roadrunners Club has raised nearly $1M for area non-profits.
Beneficiary requests will be considered through September 15 annually, and decisions will be made no later than December 31. Through a careful selection process, partner status is awarded to programs or organizations who are aligned with the TRRC’s constitutional purpose which is “to educate Club members and the community about physical fitness and health through the sponsorship and promotion of running, physical fitness and other health related events.”
