Overview
The Goodyear Half Marathon & 10k is the second event in the Akron Marathon Race Series, offering an unforgettable experience for both runners and walkers. Race through iconic Goodyear landmarks, including the historic Proving Grounds and World Headquarters, all while celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Goodyear Blimp, which will be flying overhead. Whether you’re aiming for a personal record or soaking in the history and excitement, this event is a highlight of your journey to the Blue Line.

Beginning and finishing at Goodyear’s global headquarters in Akron, the half marathon begins by heading north along Innovation Way toward Market Street before a turnaround and return along River Street. Runners pass Goodyear’s headquarters and Goodyear Field again while running down Innovation Way and past Akron Fulton International Airport.
Much of the middle section of the half marathon takes place in Akron’s Ellet neighborhood, primarily a residential area consisting of single-family homes southeast of downtown Akron. From there the course retraces some of its steps back toward Goodyear headquarters, with a stop on the proving track along the way, where Goodyear tests its products.
With a four-hour time limit, the half marathon is accessible and welcoming to those wishing to walk the half marathon course.
