Please
join us as we celebrate the 32nd running of one of America's most scenic marathons
on Sunday, April 13, 2008. A truly beautiful and varied 26.2 mile course that
starts in Downtown Toledo in front of our host hotel and takes the runners on a
tour of both sides of the Maumee River and the communities of Rossford,
Perrysburg, and Maumee before returning to a new finish alongside the river on
the River Walk. A companion 5K (3.1 mile) race shares the first and last mile of
the marathon course and runs through the historical Toledo Warehouse District. Both courses are
flat, fast, and USATF certified (Boston Qualifier). The profits from the race
benefit the Say Mah Scholarship Fund at the University of Toledo.
