Starting at 62°F, heat will be a factor from the gun — go out conservative and stay on top of hydration. Moderate winds around 18mph may affect pacing on open sections of the course. Moderate humidity at 80% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.

Race Info
The Towpath Marathon is an annual fall race in Cleveland, Ohio, organized by the nonprofit Canalway Partners since 1999. Its USATF-certified, Boston-qualifying course starts at Canal Basin Park and follows the Towpath Trail along the Cuyahoga River Valley, with the full marathon extending into Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The marathon, half marathon, and 10K run as out-and-back routes sharing a common start and finish area. Proceeds support trail development and preservation of the Ohio & Erie Canalway National Heritage Area.
