Support the Classic City Marathon.

Your generous financial sponsorship allows us to create the Classic City Marathon, Half Marathon, and Marathon Relay. In return, we will do our best to get your business a bit of recognition and publicity.

Your support also allows the Athens Road Runners and the Classic City Marathon Association to support runners, spectators, families, friends, volunteers, musicians, city workers, police and sheriff's deputies, and many other individuals and community groups during race weekend and throughout the year. We are a 503(c) nonprofit organization with a commitment to health and fitness for the entire Athens-area community.

Sponsorship levels and details are below.

Fill out the form if you are ready, or email our Sponsorships Coordinator if you have questions.

Thank you!
