About the MERCY HEALTH GLASS CITY MARATHON
The Glass City Marathon has a reputation built around fast times, and the course earns it. Toledo's roads are flat and tend to draw runners chasing personal bests or qualifying standards. The field includes everyone from first-timers to those trying to hit specific marks, and that shared focus gives the morning a purposeful feel.
The weekend opens with a kids run, a short race that works as either a shakeout or a competitive effort, and a health and wellness expo. The main event day follows, with the full marathon, a half marathon, and a relay option all going off together. Packet pickup is tied to the expo the day before.

The MERCY HEALTH GLASS CITY MARATHON has been held every year since at least 2016. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
