Want To Help? Charities of the Glass City Marathon 2016

Some wonderful charities have partnered with The Glass City Marathon this year to provide awareness to their cause and to raise funds to support those who they help. Since 2009, Toledo Roadrunners Club has raised over $300,000 for area non-profits.
Through a careful selection process, partner status is awarded to programs or organizations who are aligned with the TRRC’s constitutional purpose which is “to educate Club members and the community about physical fitness and health through the sponsorship and promotion of running, physical fitness and other health related events.”
