Our 2026 sponsors: The lifeblood of the Third Annual Classic City Marathon.
Presenting Sponsor: Piedmont Athens Regional
The Classic City Marathon Association is honored to be allowed to partner with Piedmont Athens Regional, a Presenting Sponsor of our 2026 races. Founded by physicians in 1919 as a community hospital, Piedmont Athens Regional continues to lead real change in how healthcare is provided in the Athens area. Piedmont is the official healthcare provider for the University of Georgia Athletic Association and the second largest employer in the region. They contribute more than $800 million dollars annually to the economy — and they are providing unparalleled support for the Classic City Marathon, Half Marathon, and Marathon Relay!
Our Platinum-level sponsors
Our special few platinum-level sponsors provide sustaining gifts that shape our races. Watch for our grateful acknowledgment of our platinum sponsors’ top-tier support at the Expo, at packet pick-up, at gear-drop, and even on our pacers’ signs.
Our Gold-level sponsors
Meet our Gold-level sponsors! The traditional color of leaders, champions, and winners — and the sponsors of the Exchange Zones for the Classic City Marathon Relay! Watch for them at the Expo and on the race course. We are immensely grateful for our Gold-level sponsors’ defining support of our Relay and of all our other events and goals.
Our Silver-level sponsors
Silver medals recognize outstanding performance, just as our Silver-level sponsors provide us with outstanding support. Our generous silver sponsors will each be recognized by their own mile along the race course. Most of them will have booths at the Expo, and many of them are supporting our races with other donations, contributions, or expertise. Please join us in thanking our Silver sponsors!
Our Bronze-level sponsors
Bronze awards recognize excellent performance and sustained accomplishments. Likewise, our many Bronze-level sponsors provide winning support for our races. We thank each and every one of them for their generosity. You will see most of their logos on your commemorative race shirt, too!
Our Fellow-level sponsors
A fellow is a partner, an associate, or a higher-level member. Someone who has earned the group’s recognition because of their expertise or experience. Or an Athens-area business that has made a large donation to the Classic City Marathon! Join us in thanking our generous Fellow-level sponsors.
Our Patron-level sponsors
Patrons are the dependable behind-the-scenes supporters who allow artists, creators, and marathon-makers to work. We are immensely grateful to all of our Patron-level sponsors!
Our Friend-level sponsors
Everyone needs friends. Friends believe in you; friends help you along. We are pleased to recognize the support provided by our Friend-level sponsors.
