Running the Akron Marathon Series takes hours of training, dedication, and pure determination. Last year, First Serve was an Akron Marathon Blue Line Charity and was well represented by 75 incredible runners, each stepping out with a shared purpose: to raise money for a cause close to their hearts. Some ran the full half marathon, pushing themselves through every challenge, while others formed relay teams, embodying what teamwork truly means.
That’s the spirit of First Serve. It’s about coming together, supporting each other, and working as a team to make a lasting impact.
Other ways to be involved in the fun!
Any marathon runner will tell you that hydration is the name of the game when running the race and First Serve volunteers are here to help. First Serve volunteers set up, prep hundreds of cups with water and Gatorade starting at 6am, the day of the race. By 7:15am, runners come fast and furious reaching for cups from outstretched hands. It was so invigorating to be part of the Akron Marathon-cheering on the runners, ringing cow bells and brushing up against these dedicated athletes! The First Serve Hydration Station isn’t just a task—it’s a blast!
