Watch BCSN Coverage of the Mercy Health Glass City Marathon

2023 RESULTS

Re-watch BCSN’s finish line coverage of Mercy Health Glass City Marathon’s 46th running on April 23, 2023 — Destination Toledo, the Road Runner Club of America’s Championship Marathon.

This year’s field made for a great race to the finish between many top-tier elite runners. We weren’t surprised to see several course records broken. It’s also been over fifty years since women first ran in national marathons, and our field again this year exhibited the strength, endurance and quality of female runners — we’re thrilled to be able to witness the competition in person.

My GCM Running Story
Last year without any training I decided I wanted to try to run the Glass City Marathon. I have run half marathons before but never a full marathon. So, with ‘minimal’ training I ran the marathon. When I met up with my wife and kids around mile 16, I had given up and wanted to call it quits. It was my wife who reminded me why I wanted to run the marathon and convinced me to finish it even if I walked the rest.

Well, I ended up walking the last 7 miles or so and made a new friend along the way who was from Detroit. The moment I crossed the finish line last year I swore I would never do that again. Fast forward six months and I signed up for this years Glass City Marathon. I would love to say that I trained this time around but that would be a half lie. But the day came and I was going to finish this Marathon.
This year I wasn’t running it because I wanted to say I ran a marathon. I was running it this year because I needed to prove to myself that I could do it without giving up. Last year I finished the marathon in 6 hours and 32 minutes so my only goal was to finish the marathon under 6 hours without mentally giving up.
The first 15 miles went great. I started off at around 10:30 miles and slowly progressed up to 15 min miles. But I kept running and didn’t give up. It wasn’t until Mile 16 that my legs and hips started to act up. I knew this was my test to see if I would repeat my failure from last year so in that moment, I told myself that I really didn’t care about the time. All I cared about was finishing this marathon without mentally giving up. Having walked the last few miles I crossed that finish line at 5 hours and 51 minutes and I felt for once that I truly earned that Marathon Medal!
