Classic City Marathon, Half Marathon, and Marathon Relay
SAT MAR 20
The Classic City Marathon, Half Marathon, and Marathon Relay takes place in March in Georgia, offering multiple ways to run the marathon-day course. Participants can select the 26.2-mile full marathon, the 13.1-mile half marathon, a 2- to 4-person marathon relay, or a Greek Life marathon relay with teams of the same size. The relay allows participation in the full-course event without each individual running the entire 26.2 miles. The relay course is divided into four legs, with four-person teams typically running approximately 6 to 7 miles each. Teammates exchange a specific Relay Belt and Relay Bib at designated zones before the last runner proceeds to the finish. Any group of two, three, or four individuals can register as a relay team, designate a captain, and select a team name. The Classic City Marathon Association organizes the event, which FindMyMarathon.com voters recognized as the Best Marathon in Georgia.

Fleet Feet Athens starts Monday Night Group Runs at 6:00 p.m. for 3 to 5 miles. AthHalf Half Marathon and AthFest Educates 5K, Fleet Feet Firefly Five-Miler, Old Folks 4K, and Have A Heart 5K give the calendar real anchors.

Firefly Trail and North Oconee River Greenway handle Z2, errands, and easy spins near downtown. Walker Park has singletrack for mountain bikers, BikeAthens runs monthly group rides, and The Hub runs the Ladies Ride and Five Points Fun Ride. Georgia Cycle Sport and The Hub Bicycles keep the shop talk close. 5 mi. The climbs stay Piedmont-style, with no named hills in the brief. Twilight Criterium is the crit anchor, and Athens-to-Savannah Ride is the October endurance pull.

The brief does not name the best months, so locals build the season around known dates and steady routes. Joshua Sampson Memorial 5k and Lake Chapman Trail Race put runners at Sandy Creek Park early in the year, while Twilight Criterium gives riders an April anchor and Athens-to-Savannah Ride gives October a bigger target. Summer specifics are not listed, so runners and riders keep the plan simple with Firefly Trail, North Oconee River Greenway, Walker Park, and Sandy Creek Nature Center. Winter changes are not listed either, but Athens Road Runners still has Wednesday Speed Work, Wednesday SOCIAL RUN, and Saturday long-run structure for base miles and intervals.
