Runners are stepping up to support First Serve’s mission at the Akron Marathon taking place Saturday, September 26. For the third year, we are proud to participate in the Akron Marathon as a Blue Line Charity Partner.
There are three ways to fundraise as a runner on race day: 1) Join a relay team of five runners, each running a leg of the half marathon 2) run or walk as an individual or 3) register your kids for the Kids’ Fun Run!
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 7:15 am, runners come fast and furious reaching for cups from outstretched hands. It’s so invigorating to be part of the Akron Marathon–cheering on the runners, ringing cow bells and brushing up against these dedicated athletes!
New this year, volunteers also have the opportunity to fundraise! Whether you walk, run or volunteer, you can make a difference for First Serve!
