Running builds community.
Through the generosity of our many participants, volunteers, friends, and sponsors, the Classic City Marathon Association is proud to provide financial support every year to a wide range of health- and fitness-related groups in the Athens area.
And in 2026, runners who met specific fundraising requirements for The Cancer Foundation had their registration fee reimbursed!
Let us know how we can help or work with your group to support health and fitness for the entire Athens-area community.
