Akron Race Series

Experience the Blue Line – Run or Walk with Us!
Since 2003, the Akron Marathon has grown from a single race into the Akron Marathon Race Series. It is a summer-long celebration of health, fitness, and community pride. Known as one of the best-organized race experiences in the region, the series welcomes runners and walkers of all ages and abilities with amazing support, incredible volunteers, and an atmosphere that makes everyone feel celebrated.
Whether you are chasing a personal best, walking to stay active, or sharing the experience with family and friends, Akron delivers a race day that is fun, supportive, and unmistakably community-driven. From energizing course support to lively finisher festivals, every event is designed so you feel valued from start to finish.
Begin your Blue Line journey this summer with three unforgettable race weekends and experience why Akron feels like a big-time race with a small-town heart.

Gourdy's Pumpkin Run
2026-10-17 09:00 - 11:30
GOURDY’S PUMPKIN RUN (aka GPR)
By now, you know that Gourdy’s Pumpkin Run is a race that celebrates our favorite season. Over the last decade, 500,000+ fall-natics have helped shape the race to what it is today. Everyone has their own reason for showing up on race morning. Ours? It’s a great excuse to get outdoors, enjoy some apple cider, all with a healthy dose of exercise in the autumn air!

The event has been bringing all the joys of the season since 2012.

MEET GOURDY.
Namesake of the race. While he loves running, he never takes it too seriously.

FUN FOR EVERYONE!
Gourdy’s Pumpkin Run has always been an event for all. Runners, walkers, skippers, and joggers are welcome!
JOIN THE 5K.
The only tough choice you have to make is whether you want to join a location-based race or opt for the Virtual Run. In-person races are held on specific dates + times (a traditional race experience). The Virtual Run means you can complete your 5K anytime, anywhere, with all the race goodies shipped to your door!
