The Towpath Marathon was established in 1992 to introduce the Towpath Trail as a new recreational amenity and to promote the establishment of the Ohio & Erie Canalway. Since its inception, the Towpath Marathon has grown to become one of Northeast Ohio’s premier marathons, attracting an average of 1,200 participants and 3,500 spectators from more than twenty-seven states.
All proceeds from the race benefit Canalway Partners, and help us actively develop events and projects to preserve, promote and educate the public about the National Heritage Area in Northeast, Ohio.
