Run the Classic City.
The lululemon Classic City Marathon, Half Marathon, and Marathon Relay say THANK YOU!
On January 25th, 2025, the Second Annual lululemon Classic City Marathon took to the streets and greenways of Athens! It was only possible because of our volunteers’ hard work; our sponsors’ generosity; the good work of our local police and sheriff’s offices; the ever-ready volunteers of the Athens Radio Club; the many talents of Athens’ bands and DJs; the energy of our spectators, local businesses, and UGA Greek Life organizations; and our amazing runners and walkers!
Thank you! Join us in January 2026!
