About the Garmin Marathon Toledo

The Garmin Marathon Series brings its September race day to Toledo with a course built for goal times. The event sits opposite the city's spring racing calendar, giving northwest Ohio runners a fall full backed by a large series organizer.

Course

The route starts and finishes downtown, passing Hensville and the Toledo Museum of Art before crossing the Maumee River twice. Middle miles move through Glass City Metropark and into Rossford and Perrysburg, with later stretches near the W.W. Knight Nature Preserve and the Toledo Zoo. The profile is mostly flat, which keeps even pacing realistic.

Race-day weather

Late September mornings in Toledo are usually cool, often in the 50s, but warm and humid years happen. Open river and metropark sections offer limited shade, so sun exposure can matter over the closing miles.
