---Course
Classic City Marathon is a USATF-certified Boston qualifier held in Athens, Georgia, on March 20, 2027. The course is a rolling college-town loop starting and finishing in downtown Athens, passing the UGA campus, Greek Life mansions, and the North Oconee greenway, with about 350m of elevation gain.
Why attend here
Come March, Athens is warming up and the crowds are thin, so you can savor the city's historic streets at your own pace. Run the route that honors the original marathon, finishing where the first Olympic champions did, then wander through the ancient Agora and treat yourself to a classic gyro from a local spot. It's a chance to blend your love of running with a deep dive into the very roots of the sport, all in a relaxed, sun-kissed setting.
