Our 2025 Communities of Support
Our title sponsor, lululemon, has believed in us since before our inaugural 2024 races.
We could not be more proud to be known as the lululemon Classic City Marathon, Half Marathon, and Marathon Relay.
Our special few Platinum-level sponsors provide sustaining gifts that shape our races.
We gratefully acknowledge the financial and other support we received from Piedmont Athens Regional Medical Center, our only 2025 Platinum sponsor.
The 2025 Relay Exchange Zones were made possible through the support of our special Gold-level sponsors!
We remain thankful for the generous support provided by our 2025 Silver sponsors!
We depend on the professionals and volunteers of the Athens-Clarke County Police and Sheriff’s offices, the University of Georgia Police, and the Athens Radio Club.
And we depend on our many other sponsors and volunteers. Thank you to our entire community!
